05-BMG-GF1 Geoscientific Field Competence

Excursions allow deepening of geoscientific content in the field. Depending on the main topic, rocks in geological outcrops are examined petrographically, sedimentologically and / or paleontologically and processed in a tectonic-regional geological context. Alternatively, field data are interpreted using geophysical methods, or in the applied area of industrial plants, mines, processing plants, etc. visited. Other special thematic priorities are possible.

- Learning geoscientific field work in combination with three-dimensional imagination in practice.
- Training in qualified sampling, which precedes sample processing in the laboratory and its interpretation
- Classification of local and regional findings in national geological relationships
- Acquisition of professional skills and knowledge
