Objectives Contents This integrated course all together covers geology of various planetary bodies in our Solar System and highlight extreme geological processes often neglected but important in shaping planetary surfaces including that of the Earth. These two courses are complementary to each other. The planetary geology course overviews terrestrial planets, icy moons, asteroids and comets. The extreme geological events course offers discussions on processes such as impact cratering, explosive volcanism, catastrophic flooding and tsunami.
Extended Syllabus The detailed program will be communicated during lectures.
Recommended Bibliography Bibliographical references will be communicated during the lectures.
Teaching Methods Lectures/discussions (and possibly seminars, field excursion)
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The final exam for this integrated course (GE235 - PLANETARY GEOLOGY AND EXTREME GEOLOGICAL EVENTS, combined GE148 and GE155) will be conducted as oral presentation of a topic selected by the student and it should be related to these courses. The final exam will judge the student in terms of the progress in learning of the courses' subjects, and of the capacity to select a proper topic, add original interpretation and prepare/give a professional-level presentation.
