ONLINE: Geodynamics and Structural Styles in Exploration (GEO958)
Description
Aim of this course is to improve the knowledge in geodynamics with emphasis on plate boundaries and deformation styles with an overview of different case-histories worldwide as well as the use of key geologic 'prospecting' tools. The course provides an overview of different geodynamic scenarios and associated structural styles / trap types. Participants will learn how to predict the geometry and characteristics of traps even if data is absent or conflicting. Predicting major trap types, starting from structural style of deformation and geodynamic context in order to decrease risk, is one of the main goals of the course.
Course Structure: 3 modules of max. 4 hours each, delivered over 3 days
Each day will consist of 1 module which will be no more than 4 hours in length with ample time for delegates to break for refreshments.
Course Level: Skill
Duration: 3 days
Instructor: Gabriele Lena
