Master 2 courses in Earth and Planetary Sciences, Environment - Geosciences-Planetology (GEO-P) track

Brief Description

14 days of fieldwork during which two large N-S and then E-W sections are carried out through the Internal Zones of the Betic Cordilleras (SE Spain), crossing and studying the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the sedimentary basins, the deformation and metamorphism of the extensive metamorphic domes and studying the mechanisms of emplacement of mantle rocks at the contact of the basement and the cover.

Prerequisites

Basics in Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, Tectonics, Geodynamics, Volcanism

Brief Description

Application of seismic stratigraphy to the Ligurian Basin for the joint analysis of tectonics and the construction of turbidic bodies.
Comparison and integration of seismic profiles at sea and outcrops on land to understand space-time scale variations and geological significance of seismic facies.

Jean-Xavier DESSA (jean-xavier.dessa@sorbonne-universite.fr)

Brief Description

Processes (tectonic, sedimentary, petrological) governing the formation and evolution of different types of margins and orogens.
1- Integrated multidisciplinary land-sea study of passive non-volcanic margins with the example of the Gulf of Lion (sedimentary and structural architecture, thermicity, emplacement and evolution processes, objects associated with their dynamics such as gravity slides).
2- Successive stages of evolution of an orogen: subduction (deep structures, interface dynamics, associated magmatism and metamorphism), collision (deep structures and rheology, exhumation and relief building processes, structural styles and mechanics of frictional prisms, foreland basins, mantle processes), and post-orogenic evolution.

Prerequisites

Basics on stresses, tectonic structures, quantification and mechanisms of brittle and ductile deformation, kinematics, rheological behaviors, structure, rheology and thermicity of the lithosphere. Basics of magmatic and metamorphic petrology.
Basics of sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, geophysical imaging.

3 ECTS

Brief Description

The sequence of lectures allows for a progressive change of scale, from the thermochemical nature of geological fluids to their effect on rocks at the scale of subduction zones.
During this module, students will acquire fundamental notions on fluid-rock interactions and their consequences on deformation, as well as practical experience in fluid analysis techniques (in the lab).
They will also have to conduct an in-depth personal reflection on a specific topic (paper presentation).

Prerequisites

Good knowledge of magmatic and metamorphic petrology, geochemistry, deformation and rheology.

Frédérique ROLANDONE (frederique.rolandone@sorbonne-universite.fr)

3 ECTS

Brief Description

The skills acquired are in the field of mineralogy, pyrometallurgy and analysis (use of several types of SEM).
This course gives a very concrete idea of the jobs of geologists related to the processing and management of natural resources and their environmental impact.
It is offered in part by actors from the socio-economic world, who know the skills sought by potential employers.

Prerequisites

Underground energy and mineral resources course
