GEO4011 – Field Course in Basin Analysis
Course description
Course content
In this course, you will be introduced to foreland basin infill dynamics. Introductory lectures and seminars are held prior to the field trip. Participants will work in groups to solve structural, sedimentological, and biostratigraphic problems that can be related to basin history.
Learning outcome
After completing this course, students;
- Have advanced knowledge of structural geology, sedimentology, and biostratigraphy.
- Can collect and analyse their own dataset in preparation for oral and written presentations.
Admission to the course
The course is restricted to students admitted to the master programme in Geosciences at the University of Oslo.
The course has a total of 16 places. Applicants are being ranked after the following two categories:
- Master students in Geosciences admitted to one of the following programme options:
- Structural Geology and Tectonics
- or: Petroleum Geoscience
- or: Sedimentology, Paleontology and Stratigraphy
- or: Geology (no longer admits students)
- or: Petroleum geology and Petroleum geophysics (no longer admits students)
- Master students in Geosciences in one of the other programme options at the master programme in Geosciences.
Applicants will be ranked by the number of ECTS-credits within each category; all applicants within category 1 is ranked before applicants in category 2. If there are space limitations in the course, available places will be awarded to students selected randomly among those with the same amount of ECTS credits.
