Ore Forming Processes, 7.5 ECTS
First levelFacts
Syllabus
Admission to the course requires knowledge equivalent to 15 ECTS credits Geology, 5 ECTS credits Mineralogy, 5 ECTS credits Igneous Petrology, 5 ECTS credits Metamorphic Petrology, 7.5 ECTS credits Sediment Petrology, and 7.5 ECTS credits Structural Geology.
Description
This course will investigate the processes through which ore deposits form, focusing specifically on the formation of hydrothermal ore deposits. After an introduction to ore deposits and the transport of metals in hydrothermal fluids, the course focuses on different hydrothermal ore-forming systems including those associated with magmatism, metamorphism and sedimentary processes. The course will have a theoretical moment and a practical moment that involves lab or field study.
Area of interests: Science and Mathematics
Science and mathematics help us understand how the world around us is connected – from the origin and structure of the universe, to the development and function of humanity and all other organisms on earth. Scientific knowledge makes it possible to critically examine the credibility of information in different areas of everyday life, society, and the media. As a scientist or mathematician, you will be attractive on a large job market that covers all parts of society and includes everything from pure technology companies to environment and healthcare, as well as research.
