UiO sin egen emnebeskrivelse — læringsutbytte, innhold og vurderingsform.
This course examines the geodynamic processes that shape the solid portions of our planet. In particular, we study the forces that drive mass and heat transport within our planet and the different styles of rock deformation that result from these forces. We apply our understanding to geological and geophysical processes such as faulting, plate flexure, mountain-building, plate tectonics, volcanism, mantle convection, gravitation, glacial flow, and sea-level change.
We will work on timescales ranging from seconds appropriate for landslides to billions of years for planetary evolution, and length scales ranging from microscopic deformation of rock crystals to planetary-scale convection. We will work within the soil, crust, lithosphere, mantle, oceans, and cryosphere of the Earth, and on other planets. We place an emphasis on problem-solving in order to apply physics-based concepts to real-world observations of geodynamic processes. In doing so, we gain a fundamental physical understanding of how geodynamics controls many of the geological features around us.
When you have completed this course, you will be able to
It is recommended that students have knowledge equivalent of a bachelor's degree in earth sciences or other physical/mathematical sciences.
Both master's students and PhD candidates can take this course.
Students admitted at UiO must apply for courses in Studentweb. Students enrolled in other master's degree programmes can, on application, be admitted to the course if this is cleared by their own study programme.
Nordic citizens and applicants residing in the Nordic countries may apply to take this course as a single course student.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures for international applicants.
PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations through Studentweb. If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to master's students who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included.
The course has a max capacity of 20 students. If there are more than 20 applicants for GEO4630, applicants will be ranked after the following categories:
Applicants will be ranked by the number of ECTS-credits within each category: all applicants within category 1 are ranked before applicants in category 2. If there are space limitations in the course, available places will be given to students selected randomly among those with the same amount of ECTS credits.
Based on experience, there is generally room for everyone who applies for admission to the course within the deadline.
Lectures and seminars including exercises occupy 6 hours per week throughout the semester. Up to 3 mandatory exercises must be approved before you can sit the final examination. Typically, these mandatory exercises are based on the concepts discussed in class and consist of oral presentation and written solutions to assigned problems.
Attendance at the first lecture is compulsory. Students who fail to meet are considered to have withdrawn from the course unless they have previously given notice to the course responsible.
We reserve the right to change the teaching form and examination of the course in semesters where 5 or fewer students have been admitted.
Mandatory assignments are valid for 5 semesters starting from the semester they were approved the first time.
It is possible to take the exam up to 3 times. If you withdraw from the exam after the deadline or during the exam, this will be counted as an examination attempt.
It will also be counted as 1 of the 3 attempts to sit the exam for this course if you sit the exam for the following course:
The examination will be open book, open notes: any examination material is allowed.
Students who can document a valid reason for absence from the regular examination are offered a postponed examination at the beginning of the next semester.
Re-scheduled examinations are not offered to students who withdraw during the exam or did not pass the original examination.
Courses taught in English will only offer the exam paper in English.
You may write your examination paper in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or English.
