Earth History

1.5 credits · Undergraduate

The history of the Earth-ocean-atmosphere system is recorded in the igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock record. Investigates how the geological record is used to unravel the co-evolution of the solid Earth (e.g., tectonics and volcanism) and the ocean, atmosphere and biosphere. Focusses on the Phanerozoic Eon, as its geological record is most abundant and best understood.
