05-MMG-MR1 Continental Margin Resources (bis SoSe 2025)

Representative Achim Kopf

Learning Contents:

This module will provide a basic understanding of ocean margin gas hydrate and hydrocarbon systems. Students will get a comprehensive insight into the physics, chemistry and geobiology of gas hydrates as well as into geochemical concepts of generation and migration of hydrocarbons. They will learn how biomarkers are used to identify origin, migration and alteration of hydrocarbons in marine sediments. In addition the module offers an introduction into the application of geoscience concepts in hydrocarbon exploration and development.

Learning Outcomes, Targeted Competencies:

1) Students understand key concept in hydrocarbon exploration
2) Students understand the principles of gas hydrate formation and distribution on earth
3) Students understand oil and gas formation, migration and in-reservoir alteration
4) Students understand biomarkers as a tool to establish oil-source correlations and alteration histories using petroleum geochemical data

Prior Knowledge:

Background in basics of geophysics, sedimentology and structural geology
