Learning outcomes
|
Students will learn about the principles of time measurement in geology and the main geological processes that can be interpreted from the study of rocks. Furthermore, the development of the earth's crust, climate, atmosphere, hydrosphere and living organisms is outlined in integrated time sections that reflect the geological time scale.
