Field Lab

This equivalency course replaces the following course from the old master programme: AESM1470. It is identical to the Geo-Energy Fieldwork unit from module AESM403B -24 in the new programme. Please see the study guide description of AESM403B-24 and the information below. Please contact the module manager at the start of the module for registration and additional information.

Part 1 (0.5EC): preparation

Prepare for the assignment in a team. Discussion of the main scientific and technical challenges related to energy transition and/or geohazards. Read literature on the geological objects investigated. Define the data needed and the strategy to collect them, preparing the necessary (digital) platforms.

Part 2 (1.5EC): the field trip

In the various outcrops visited, student groups will collect the data necessary to address the questions defined in Part 1.

Preliminary data processing will be performed during the late afternoon/evening together with the definition of activities needed for the coming day.

Part 3 (1EC): reporting

During fieldwork, students write a report. The last day of the course is dedicated to addressing major questions that synthesize the findings from the fieldwork.
