Integrated Course: GEOLOGY and marine botanyModule MARINE GEOLOGY
Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: SALVATORE DISTEFANOExpected Learning Outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of the main geological phenomena occurring in the marine environment, with particular reference to marine investigation techniques, both superficial and deep.
Required Prerequisites
Students are required to have acquired the concepts of the Introduction to Earth Sciences course (the first semester of the first year of the three-year course in Environmental and Natural Sciences) and of the Geology course (the first semester of the second year of the three-year course in Sciences Environmental and Natural).
Attendance of Lessons
Mandatory attendance,
Detailed Course Content
- From the acquisition to the interpretation of seismo-stratigraphic and bathymetric data.
