| 651-4041-00L | Sedimentology I: Physical Processes and Sedimentary Systems | 3 KP | 2G | V. Picotti | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Sediments preserved a record of past landscapes. This courses focuses on understanding the processes that modify sedimentary landscapes with time and how we can read this changes in the sedimentary record. | ||||
| Lernziel | The students learn basic concepts of modern sedimentology and stratigraphy in the context of sequence stratigraphy and sea level change. They discuss the advantages and pitfalls of the method and look beyond. In particular we pay attention to introducing the importance of considering entire sediment routing systems and understanding their functionning. | ||||
| Inhalt | Details on the program will be handed out during the first lecture. | ||||
| Literatur | The sedimentary record of sea-level change Angela Coe, the Open University. Cambridge University Press | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The grading of students is based on in-class exercises and end-semester examination. | ||||
| 651-4043-00L | Sedimentology II: Biological and Chemical Processes in Lacustrine and Marine Systems Prerequisite: Successful completion of the MSc-course "Sedimentology I" (651-4041-00L). | 3 KP | 2G | V. Picotti, A. Gilli, I. Hernández Almeida, H. Stoll | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course will focus on biological amd chemical aspects of sedimentation in marine environments. Marine sedimentation will be traced from coast to deep-sea. The use of stable isotopes palaeoceanography will be discussed. Neritic, hemipelagic and pelagic sediments will be used as proxies for environmental change during times of major perturbations of climate and oceanography. | ||||
| Lernziel | -You will understand chemistry and biology of the marine carbonate system -You will be able to relate carbonate mineralogy with facies and environmental conditions -You will be familiar with cool-water and warm-water carbonates -You will see carbonate and organic-carbon rich sediments as part of the global carbon cycle -You will be able to recognize links between climate and marine carbonate systems (e.g. acidification of oceans and reef growth) -You will be able to use geological archives as source of information on global change -You will have an overview of marine sedimentation through time | ||||
| Inhalt | -carbonates,: chemistry, mineralogy, biology -carbonate sedimentation from the shelf to the deep sea -carbonate facies -cool-water and warm-water carbonates -organic-carbon and black shales -C-cycle, carbonates, Corg : CO2 sources and sink -Carbonates: their geochemical proxies for environmental change: stable isotopes, Mg/Ca, Sr -marine sediments thorugh geological time -carbonates and evaporites -lacustrine carbonates -economic aspects of limestone | ||||
| Skript | no script. scientific articles will be distributed during the course | ||||
| Literatur | We will read and critically discuss scientific articles relevant for "biological and chemical processes in marine and lacustrine systems" | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The grading of students is based on in-class exercises and end-semester examination. | ||||
