GEOM22

Quaternary geology and landscape dynamics This course provides you with the tools and knowledge needed to analyze and understand the processes that have shaped and continue to transform today’s landscapes. You will engage with complex questions concerning how landscape development is linked to climate change, erosion issues, pollution, and water dynamics. The course offers both theoretical insight

Research

The Department of Geology includes two sub-units organized around broad themes; Bedrock Geology and Quaternary Sciences. An important strategy is to increase collaboration across research themes. Below we present our eight research themes in short. The structure of overall research themes at the Department of Geology. The two rings represent the two units Bedrock Geology and Quaternary Sciences. T

GEON06 - cancelled

Palaeoecological methods and environmental analysis, 15 ECTS credits You might wonder what changes the environment has undergone since the last ice age until today? How has the landscape changed and how have flora and fauna responded to variations in climate and in human activity?If you attend this course, you will be able to answer such questions and not least obtain knowledge of up-to-date metho

GEON08

Marine Geology and Environmental Change,15 ECTS credits Do you want to learn more about the oceans, how they function today and how they functioned in the past? Then this course is for you. It is at advanced level and focuses initially on circulation patterns in the oceans, marine sedimentation processes and depositional environments, nutrient cycles, marine life habitats and ecosystems.

Quaternary climate and glaciation history,15 ECTS credits Cancelled VT 2021 What is the explanation for repeated glaciations during the past few million years and how many glaciations have there actually been? How much and how fast has Earth’s climate varied, what are the mechanisms behind major climate changes and how do we know? How has the landscape, vegetation and human life been affected by t

GEOM11

Magmatic petrology, Geochemistry and Geochronology,15 ECTS credits Planet Earth was formed 4,560 Ma and its differentiation into crust, mantle and core occurred shortly thereafter. Continuous magmatism in various plate tectonic settings, in combination with processes related to melting and magma differentiation, has led to the wide spectra of igneous rock distinctive of Earth’s crust. We learn to

GEOM09

Evolution of the Biosphere, Palaeoecology and Palaeontology, 15 ECTS credits The fossil record reveals that life has changed dramatically since it originated, and that evolution is intimately associated with changes in physical conditions on our planet. Not only have the various groups of organisms evolved but also the biosphere, as a whole, has changed conspicuously since its origin over 3.500 mi

GEOM08

Metamorphic Petrology and Structural Geology, 15 ECTS credits Metamorphic processes have reshaped the crust since the formation of planet Earth. Metamorphism, involving essentially reactions in the solid state, takes place where rocks are subjected to temperature and pressure conditions different from those where they originally formed. New minerals form by chemical reactions, often in the presenc

GEOM12

Sedimentary Geology and Basin Analysis, 15 ECTS credits Sedimentary basins are erosional remnants comprising hundreds to thousands of meters thick strata and preserved in regionally widespread, natural or fault-controlled depressions in the crystalline bedrock. They are represented from all tectonic environments and contain Earth's deposits of coal, oil and gas. They are therefore of great economi

Lund Luminescence Laboratory

Luminescence dating is a geochronological technique that spans the Late Quaternary, and can be used in both geological and archaeological applications. It uses the natural emission of light from mineral grains (namely quartz and feldspar) to inform us about the age of events ranging from the deposition of beach sediments in storm events, change in climatic conditions, and the making of pottery and
