Paleoceanography - Core Lab or Field Studies

A lab-based course (or alternatively a one-week block course) is offered to study paleoceanography in the past using suitable archives of ship expeditions or field campaigns. There should be an intense investigation of such archives with respect to core/outcrop description, analysis and interpretation. The archives will be chosen to be complementary to the case studies adressed in Modul Paleoceanography I.

To get familiar with the lab or field work methodology.
To be able to describe, analyse, and interprete suitable environmental archives.
To embedd the own observations and results in a broad scientific context
To work objective-oriented and problem-based individually as well as in a team
