- there are 74 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- The lecture builds on the basic principles covered in the Geochemistry course and is an advanced course in the Master of Science in Geology. The focus is on the quantitative assessment of the stability of geological systems and the nature of their transformations. Attention is given to the study of the dynamics of transformations of geological systems and the possibilities of their modeling.
- Learning outcomes
- Successful completion of the course will enable students to apply the latest quantitative techniques in solving thesis topics. This covers a wide range of problems and issues in the temporal evolution of geological systems.
