Reviews

Marine Geology focuses on the geological processes and features of the ocean floor, providing students with an in-depth understanding of the Earth's underwater landscape. This course covers the structure and composition of the oceanic crust, including mid-ocean ridges, abyssal plains, seamounts, and trenches. Students will explore the processes of plate tectonics and seafloor spreading, learning how these dynamic forces shape the geology of the ocean basins. The course also examines the sedimentary processes that occur in marine environments, including the formation, transportation, and deposition of marine sediments.

In addition to studying the physical features of the ocean floor, the course addresses the methods and technologies used in marine geological research. Students will gain practical experience in techniques such as seismic surveying, sediment sampling, and remote sensing. The course also covers the role of marine geology in understanding natural hazards, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity, as well as its applications in resource exploration, including oil and gas extraction and mineral mining. Through lectures, laboratory work, and field studies, students will develop the skills and knowledge necessary for careers in geology, oceanography, and environmental science, while gaining a deeper appreciation for the geological processes that shape our planet's oceans.
