05-BGW-EE2 Evolution of Earth and Life

Representative Karin Zonneveld

Learning Contents:

In three thematic blocks - Earth and Life History - Basics of Palaeontology - Biology for Geoscientists - the course will cover basic concepts of the history of the Earth and of life in close connection with the basics of Palaeontology and Biology. Against the background of 4.6 billion years of geotectonic and climatic changes on our Planet, we will explore the causes and consequences of major events shaping the current face of the Earth, explore how the history of Earth is connected with the evolution of life and how these interactions affected the development of the Ocean and the Atmosphere.

Learning Outcomes, Targeted Competencies:

1) Understand the concept of geological time and the sequence and causes and consequences of key events in the evolution of the Earth system
2) Understand feedbacks between biological and geological processes acting on geological time scales
3) Identify and describe fossils and understand their preservation and applications
4) Obtain basic knowledge of biological processes relevant for Earth and Ocean Sciences
