Dit vak wordt in het Engels aangeboden. Omschrijvingen kunnen daardoor mogelijk alleen in het Engels worden weergegeven.
Doel vak
- To provide hands-on experience with the most relevant methods used inpaleoclimate/paleoenvironmental research.
- To assess new data in the context of previous (published) studies.
- To introduce the basics of scientific reporting.
Inhoud vak
The practical comprises a series of lectures, lab classes, discussionmeetings, concluded by a series of meetings during which the obtained
results will be written up in a research report. During the practical a
marine and/or a terrestrial sediment core/section will be investigated.
The research includes core description, defining sampling strategy,
basic sample processing, determination of micropaleontological,
palynological, geochemical and geophysical sediment properties, and data
analysis. The emphasis will be on both long-term climate change
(glacial-interglacial time scale) and on millennial-scale climate change
records (e.g., Heinrich events, deglaciation). Participation in
lectures, laboratory work, oral presentations and discussion meetings
are compulsory.
Onderwijsvorm
- An introductory lecture will highlight the outline of the practicalcourse.
- Lectures on palynology, marine micropaleontology, sedimentology and
applied methods.
- Students will be motivated to present and discuss the obtained results
during a series of discussion meetings.
- Laboratory work, data analysis, preparation of presentations.
- Self-tuition.
Toetsvorm
- Laboratory work (25 %)- Oral presentations and participation in discussion meetings (25 %)
- Written report (50 %)
Literatuur
A course manual and list of selected literature (book chapters,articles) will be made available via Canvas.
