new in SuSe 2016/17: Materials Resources

Lecturers: Christoph VogtContact: Christoph Vogt

Content:

The course and practices are concerned with earth materials that can be used for economic and/or industrial purposes.
Basic geological processes will be reviewed. Industrial production of these materials will be described.
These materials include precious and base metals, nonmetallic minerals, construction-grade stone, petroleum minerals, coal, and water. The techniques employed by earth science disciplines (such as geochemistry, mineralogy, geophysics, and structural geology) might all be used to understand, describe, and exploit such deposites.
The discpline is usually nicknamed economic geology and is primarily practiced by geologists. However it is of prime interest to investment bankers, stock analysts and other professions such as engineers, environmental scientists, and conservationists because of the far-reaching impact that extractive industries have on society, the economy, and the environment.
