| 651-3400-AAL | Fundamentals of Geochemistry Enrolment ONLY for MSc students with a decree declaring this course unit as an additional admission requirement. Any other students (e.g. incoming exchange students, doctoral students) CANNOT enrol for this course unit. | 6 credits | 13R | C. Liebske, O. Bachmann | |
| Abstract | Self-study course, the contents of which will be defined by consultation with the study advisor. | ||||
| Objective | Close knowledge gaps in geochemistry to fulfill the respective requirements for the earth science MSc programme. | ||||
| 651-4032-01L | Volcanology Field Course Number of participants limited to 20. Priority is given to D-ERDW students. If space is available UZH Geography and Earth System Sciences students may attend this field course at full cost. No registration through myStudies. The registration for excursions and field courses goes through http://exkursionen.erdw.ethz.ch only. | 2 credits | 6P | O. Bachmann | |
| Abstract | The course complements the lecture class on physical volcanology, by providing a close look at the field characteristics of volcanic deposits. It is run in a volcanic province, typically in Europe (e.g., Iceland, Greece, Italy, Spain, Germany, France). The course focuses on the field description of many types of volcanic deposits and their edifices. | ||||
| Objective | After completion of this course, the students should be able to differentiate the different types of volcanic rocks in the field, and interpret the eruptive dynamics that led to their deposition. They should also be able to provide some guidance on the type of hazards that a given volcanic edifice or province is most likely to produce. | ||||
| Content | The course involves a weeklong stay in a volcanic province, in most cases situated in Europe. A first part of the course will focus on a guided tour to look at volcanic deposits and learn the characteristics of the area. In a second stage, the students will have to complete some field exercises. | ||||
| Lecture notes | A field guide and scientific papers pertaining to the area of study will be distributed | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Prerequisite: This course can only be taken after successful completion of 651-4032-00L Volcanology. Studierende Geographie und Erdsystemwissenschaften bezahlen den vollen Tarif (keine Subventionen). Students registering for the course confirm having read and accepted the terms and conditions for excursions and field courses of D-ERDW https://www.ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/special-interest/erdw/department/dokumente/studium/exkursionen/AGB_ERDW_Exkursionen_en.pdf | ||||
| 651-4180-01L | Integrated Earth Systems I  | 5 credits | 4G + 1U | O. Bachmann, A. Fichtner, A. Jackson, M. Schönbächler, P. Tackley | |
| Abstract | Planet Earth has had complex history since its formation ~4.6 billion years ago. To understand its past evolution, and glimpse at its future, one needs an integrated perspective including many aspects of the earth sciences (e.g., geochemistry, geophysics, geology). The main goal of the course is to achieve this integrated view of the solid part of our planet. | ||||
| Objective | The main goal of "Integrierte Erdsystem I" is to achieve an integrated view of the solid part of our planet through a series of lectures, exercises, and tutorials that will involve multiple disciplines. | ||||
