| Semester | Spring Semester 2021 |
| Lecturers | V. Picotti, S. Willett |
| Periodicity | two-yearly recurring course |
| Language of instruction | English |
| Comment | Geography and Earth System Sciences students UZH may attend this field course at full costs (no subsidies). No registration through myStudies. The registration for excursions and field courses goes through http://exkursionen.erdw.ethz.ch only. |
| Abstract | Students will be trained for 10 days in the field analysis of sedimentary rocks. They will learn how to measure sections, they will combine facies analysis with analysis of sedimentary structures in the field. The area of study selected for this course changes from year to year. |
| Objective | The students will be able to analyse and describe marine sedimentary rocks in the field and they will be able to reconstruct their depositional setting. |
| Content | The students will learn how to analyze sedimentary rocks in the field. The field course will include investigations of marine carbonates and siliciclastics in an alpine setting. |
| Literature | Will be distributed before the course |
| Prerequisites / Notice | BSc in Earth Sciences Some experience in geological field mapping (Geological Field Course 1 and 2 or equivalent) |
