Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Theory
The course is divided in thematic chapters: dating methods, volume variations of the icecaps, glacio-eustatic variations of the sea level, glacio-isostasy, response of the hydrographic networks to climate variations, paleomagnetism, Quaternary lithostratigraphy, palynology, animal paleontology, climatic variations recorded in the oceanic and ice cores, causes of the glaciations. Where possible, priority is given to Belgian examples, both for stratigraphy and geomorphology.
Field
two (separate) field trip days
Futher theory
identical to the information provided in the 'engagements pédagogiques' of course GEOG0201-A-a
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Theory
Ability to describe the history of the environmental changes and the resulting changing landscapes during the last 2.6 million years, and to understand the current environments within this evolutionary context.
Field
ability to describe and analyze sedimentary sections and landforms, and to build a logical interpretative reasoning about the observations within their geomorphic and geological setting
