Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Following an introduction on the basic principles of radioactivity and of stable isotopes fractionation, the course is devoted to the geochronological and petrological applications of several isotopic systems.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The intent of this course is to provide the basic principles of isotopic geochemistry.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Geochemistry (GEOL0206-3)
Magmatic petrology and metamorphic petrology (GEOL1035-1 et GEOL1036-1).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
10 courses of 2H of theory and 5 practicals of 2H.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Part of the theoretical course will be given remotely via LIFESIZE
Recommended or required readings
Notes provided during the courses. Reference books : -Faure G. (1986) . Principles of isotope geology, 589 p. -Dickin A. (2005). Radiogenic isotopes -Allègre C. (2005). Géologie isotopique
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Attendance at practical work is compulsory and conditions success. Written exam.
