Quaternary climate and glaciation history,15 ECTS credits Cancelled VT 2021 What is the explanation for repeated glaciations during the past few million years and how many glaciations have there actually been? How much and how fast has Earth’s climate varied, what are the mechanisms behind major climate changes and how do we know? How has the landscape, vegetation and human life been affected by t

Magmatic petrology, Geochemistry and Geochronology,15 ECTS credits Planet Earth was formed 4,560 Ma and its differentiation into crust, mantle and core occurred shortly thereafter. Continuous magmatism in various plate tectonic settings, in combination with processes related to melting and magma differentiation, has led to the wide spectra of igneous rock distinctive of Earth’s crust. We learn to

Evolution of the Biosphere, Palaeoecology and Palaeontology, 15 ECTS credits The fossil record reveals that life has changed dramatically since it originated, and that evolution is intimately associated with changes in physical conditions on our planet. Not only have the various groups of organisms evolved but also the biosphere, as a whole, has changed conspicuously since its origin over 3.500 mi

Metamorphic Petrology and Structural Geology, 15 ECTS credits Metamorphic processes have reshaped the crust since the formation of planet Earth. Metamorphism, involving essentially reactions in the solid state, takes place where rocks are subjected to temperature and pressure conditions different from those where they originally formed. New minerals form by chemical reactions, often in the presenc

Old Wood in a New Light In dendrochronological studies, annual rings in trees can be used as a precise dating tool as well as to study climate dynamics and other environmental changes over time where the trees have grown. There are tree-ring series which cover thousands of years and thus constitute valuable and detailed archives that can be used in a wide range of research disciplines. Moreover, a

Within research area planetary geoscience we want to place planet Earth in a broader context – how has our planet interacted with its neighbors in the Solar System throughout its history? Over the past years the main research interest of the group has been impact cratering. Impact cratering has played a major role in shaping planetary surfaces and environments since the formation of our Solar Syst

Computational Science: Introduction to Modelling of Climate System, 7.5 ECTS credits Mathematical modelling is an essential tool within earth system sciences to understand processes and test hypotheses. For example, hypotheses related to ongoing climate changes are tested with models, and the estimated impacts of future global warming are based on model scenarios. On longer timescales, the complex

Gas-Isotope-ratio mass spectrometry (G-IRMS) allows the precise measurement of mixtures of naturally occurring light stables isotopes. The mass differences between isotopes leads to quantifiable  kinetic- or mass dependent fractionation that is characteristic of the biological, chemical or physical history of a sample. Such data allows the reconstruction and history of changes in fluxes (and proce
