Major (Course): Earth Sciences/Tectonics

Program: Master

Introduction:

Tectonics is the field of Earth Science that aims to unravel the geological context in which deformation of the Earths crust occurs across the range of geologic time. It deals with the folding and faulting associated with mountain building; the large-scale, gradual upward and downward movements of the crust and sudden horizontal displacements along faults. Tectonics involves the integration of structural geology, sedimentology, igneous and metamorphic petrology, geochronology, geochemistry, seismology and geophysics. The candidate can place local observations into a regional context, evaluate the different data types and methods used to understand the regional geology and discuss the interaction between tectonic and other geological processes that have contributed to the shaping of the geology of a region.
