The scientific field of the course “Quaternary Geology” deals with the geological data of the Quaternary period (the last 2.58 million years), in order to understand the processes that shape the geo-environment, the climate changes at each geographical scale over time.
Recognition and interpretation of the processes that shape the geo-environment is essential to understand global environmental changes and anticipating and adapting prospects, as well as providing insight into the long-term survival of humans in the face of future environmental pressures. From the above, it is understood that a multidisciplinary research approach is required to interpret multidimensional parameters.
The Geology of the Quaternary “borrows” knowledge, tools and techniques from the natural sciences (geology, palaeontology, stratigraphy, oceanography, geochemistry, etc.) and from the human sciences (archeology, anthropology, etc.).
Duration: 13 weeks, lectures 2 hours/week and laboratory tutorials 1 hour/week, including laboratory exercises. The attendance of the laboratory tutorials is compulsory.
Assessment method is a final written exam at the end of the semester (duration 3 hours) as well as the evaluation of the laboratory works (exercises).
