Geology (II semester -PhD)
Hidrogeology (II semester -PhD) |
|
Name of subject: Microtectonics |
Instructors:
Dr Uroš Stojadinović |
|
Status: Optional |
|
ECTS: 10 |
|
Prerequisites: Structural geology |
Course Objectives:
The course is aimed to explain main concepts of petrology, structural geology, and geochronology in order to determine tectonic histories of regions based on investigations of various parameters (pressure, temperature, temporal relations and deformations). |
Learning Outcomes:
After finishing this course students will be able to: identify different phases of deformations and their temporal relations, estimate p-T conditions of various deformations, determine kinematics of deformations based on structural parameters, interpret the results of microtectonic studies in broader tectonic context. |
Content:
Theory teaching
The relations between deformations and metamorphism on the microscopic scale. Introduction to microtectonics and its significance for the analysis of deformation histories. Terminology. Mechanisms of deformations. Basic techniques and methods of analysis of microstructures. Microscopy. Sampling, orienting samples, oriented samples preparation. Descriptions and reconstructions of microdeformations. Practical teaching
Collecting oriented samples in the field. Oriented samples preparation. Seminar paper. |
