Autumn. Intensive course.
This is a course with limited capacity.
The course is cross-disciplinary and consists of three parts:
The first part of the course includes elements of geomatics, GIS, and digital outcrop geology. The focus is on the employment of modern digital mapping techniques, such as lidar, photogrammetry and remotely sensed imagery, how to interpret these data and employ them for modelling. The entire workflow is covered, from data acquisition methods, processing, and interpretation techniques.
The second part of the course will give students advanced understanding of interpretation and visualization of 3D seismic data. The course will focus on advanced techniques for conditioning seismic data, mapping surfaces and using a range of seismic attributes to investigate structures, geomorphology, and sedimentology of depositional systems. The program Petrel will be used in the course.
The third part provides the theoretical background and practical structural, sedimentary, and stratigraphic skills required to understand selected topics within integrated basin analysis. Topics covered will include a selection of the following: models of crustal stretching and basin formation, fault/fold growth, salt tectonics, source-to-sink, sedimentary processes, and sequence stratigraphy.
On completion of the course the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills, and general competence:
