Objectives
On completion of this module, students should be able to ...Undertake eight or nine days of geological fieldwork on the island of Cyprus to investigate the dynamics of formation, cooling, alteration of mid-oceanic ridges, their subsequent emplacement as ophiolites, and their unroofing and post-emplacement history, and to evaluate the evolution of sedimentary environments from deep marine to shallow marine to continental, during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic evolution of this part of the eastern Mediterranean. Aspects of applied geoscience will likely also be incorporated.
Learning outcomes
On completion of this module students will:
1) have investigated howpure and applied geological concepts may be used in field situations.
2) developed skills of integration, field observations and synthesis of geological models, including synthesis of field and literature data.
3) Developed specific knowledge surrounding the diverse types of geology found on Cyprus, their origins and any impacts upon society.
Syllabus
- Geological observations/syntheses in the field.
- Preparatory lecture(s) and self study of background materials.
