This is the second part of the 12-credit module "Earth Surface Dynamics". It follows the Earth Surface Processes class that is held in the winter semester.
Content
This course provides an introduction to the field of active tectonics and the methods used to quantify active deformation of the Earth’s crust at seismic to geological timescales. We will in particular study modern geodetic and geomorphological methods to assess tectonic activity and quantify its rates in compressional, strike-slip and extensional settings. In addition, the course investigates the couplings between tectonics and climate-driven surface processes in landscape evolution.
Objective
Understanding the tectonic controls on landforms at plate boundaries and tectonically active continental interiors; quantification of deformation rates in different plate-tectonic settings using geodesy, landform analysis and paleo-seismology.- Kursleiter*in: Kosari, Ehsan
