Geology course elements , 1st year Common Core L1: Natural and life sciences
(Faculty of Sciences, 2024) BOUDRIES , Amel
The objective of the geology instruction is to instill fundamental knowledge of the major phenomena shaping the Earth, demonstrating that the Earth is a dynamic planet with processes that we aim to comprehend. The general geology module primarily seeks to position geology within the natural sciences and underscore its relevance to biological requirements. In the first part of this module, students will be introduced to basic concepts concerning the fundamental understanding of the Earth's structure through various investigative methods. The second part will cover notions related to external phenomena (erosion and alteration) influencing changes in topography, and finally, structural geology in connection with internal and external geodynamics. The module will also explore the stratigraphic scale of geological times based on various methods of geochronological dating.
