| Course Description |
| Tectonics is the science about the composition, structure, origin, and evolution of the Earth, its crust, or large
regions of the Earth. Last decades it encompasses similar studies of material objects in the Universe. Tectonics
integrates results of almost all geosciences. The first part of the course consists of lectures giving a systematic
overview of continental rifts, oceanic spreading centers, transform faults, subduction zones and collisional
orogenic belts. The second part of the course concentrates on the tectonic evolution of region originated in
different tectonic settings. This course provides training in the concepts and techniques required for regional
tectonic analysis and synthesis of the geodynamic evolution of the lithosphere. |
