651-4024-00LOre Deposits II3 KP2GC. Chelle-Michou, T. Driesner
KurzbeschreibungMagmatic-hydrothermal ore formation from plate-tectonic scale to fluid inclusions, with a focus on porphyry-Cu-Au deposits, epithermal precious-metal deposits and granite-related Sn-W deposits
LernzielRecognise and interpret ore-forming processes in hand samples. Understand the string of processes that contribute to metal enrichment mainly along active plate margins, from lithosphere dynamics through magma evolution, fluid separation, subsolidus fluid evolution, and alteration and mineral precipitation by interaction of magmatic fluids with country rocks and the hydrosphere. Understand connection to active volcanism and geothermal processes. Insight into modern research approaches including firld mapping, analytical techniques and modelling in preparation for MSc projects.
InhaltDetailed program of contents will be updated yearly and will be made available in the first class and by email distribution to those who subscribe to the course
SkriptShort notes are distributed in class
LiteraturExtensive reference list distributed with course notes
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesBuilds on BSc integration course "Georesources and Geoenergy" and MSc course "Ore Deposits I", as essential introductions to the principles of hydrothermal ore formation in sedimentary basins and to orthomagmatic metal enrichment in layered intrusions. Reflected Light Microscopy and Ore Deposit Practical, coordinated with Ore Deposits I, is recommended but not essential. BSc students intending to study the module Mineral Resources and Technical Mineralogy in their MSc program should take both courses "Ore Deposits I and II" during their MSc studies in this sequence, not as elective credits during the BSc.
651-4036-00LField Excursion Module Mineral Resources
Priority is given to D-ERDW students. If space is available UZH Geography and Earth System Sciences students may attend this field course at full cost.

No registration through myStudies. The registration for excursions and field courses goes through Link only.
3 KP6PT. Driesner, C. Chelle-Michou
KurzbeschreibungExcursion to areas of active and past mining activity and practical industry courses. Mapping relations between regional/local geology and ore deposit formation in the field and in active mines. Insight into the work of mine and exploration geologists, including geophysical measurements, geochemical data handling, economic evaluation, etc.
LernzielUnderstand the regional and local geology as a framework for ore deposit formation. Discuss actual ore deposits and their position within this framework during mine visits. Study similarities and differences between processes leading to the formation of different ore deposit types. Obtain insight into challenges linking economic geology and mining with social and environmental constraints.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesCourse plans changing through the years. Subscribe through MyStudies once; depending on the rolling 2-year program, it is possible to obtain credits by combination of several excursions and courses.

Students registering for the course confirm having read and accepted the terms and conditions for excursions and field courses of D-ERDW https://www.ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/special-interest/erdw/department/dokumente/studium/exkursionen/AGB_ERDW_Exkursionen_en.pdf

651-4180-03LIntegrierte Erdsysteme III Belegung eingeschränkt - Details anzeigen
Nur für Erdwissenschaften BSc, Studienreglement 2016.
5 KP4G + 1US. Heuberger, T. Driesner, A. Gilli, M. O. Saar
KurzbeschreibungIm Kurs Integrierte Erdsysteme III werden die geologischen Rohstoffe der Erde, die Georessourcen, aus integrierender Perspektive betrachtet. Es werden drei interagierende Schwerpunktsthemen behandelt:
1) die nicht-metallischen mineralischen Rohstoffe (Kies & Sand, Zementrohstoffe, Kohlenwasserstoffe)
2) die geothermischen Rohstoffe (Geoenergie)
3) die metallischen Rohstoffe (Erze).
LernzielDie Studierenden erarbeiten einen Überblick über die verschiedenen nutzbaren, geologischen Rohstoffe der Erde. Insbesondere wird die Bildung dieser Georessourcen im Kontext der interagierenden petrologischen, tektonischen, geophysikalischen und geochemischen Prozesse diskutiert und vertieft. Die Studierenden können die wirtschaftliche Bedeutung dieser Georessourcen einordnen und deren verantwortungsvolle Nutzung beurteilen.
InhaltDer dritte Teil der Vorlesung "Intergrierte Erdsysteme" behandelt geologische Rohstoffe, die Georessourcen. Drei Schwerpunkte werden in dieser Lehrveranstaltung gesetzt: 1. nicht-metallische mineralische Rohstoffe (Steine & Erden, Kohlenwasserstoffe, Industrieminerale, Salze), 2. Geothermie, 3. Metallische Rohstoffe (Erzlagerstätten).
Der Teil der nicht-metallischen mineralischen Rohstoffe diskutiert die Entstehung sowie die Prospektion dieser Rohstoffe an ausgewählten Beispielen. Die Studierenden erhalten Einblick in die tektonischen und sedimentären Bedingungen, die zur Lagerstättenbildung geführt haben, sowie in die zu deren Auffindung benötigten Prospektionstechniken und Geodaten (z.B. 3D-Modelle, Bohrungen, Seismik).
Der Geothermie-Teil befasst sich mit der Nutzung von Niedrig- und Hoch-Enthalpie Geothermie-Systemen zur Gewinnung von Wärme und/oder Strom. Die Studierenden werden vom geologischen Untergrund, und den darin vorkommenden und zirkulierenden Flüssigkeiten, über das geothermische Kraftwerk an der Erdoberfläche bis hin zu den Wärme- und/oder Strom-Gestehungskosten, die wesentlichen Aspekte eines geothermischen Kraftwerkes qualitativ und semi-quantitativ untersuchen und beurteilen.
Der Teil über Erzlagerstätten stellt ausgewählte Lagerstättentypen und deren Bildung in den Kontext von tektonischen, petrologischen und geochemischen Prozessen. Die Studierenden werden anhand von umfangreichem Probenmaterial die wichtigsten Charakteristika dieser Lagerstätten erarbeiten und die Interpretation von kleinskaligen Feldbeziehungen üben. Daraus werden qualitative und semi-quantitative Rückschlüsse über die chemischen Prozesse hinter der Anreicherung von Erzmetallen abgeleitet.

KurzbeschreibungThis course presents advanced topics of single and multiphase fluid flow, heat transfer, reactive transport, and geochemical reactions in the subsurface. Emphasis is on the understanding of the underlying governing equations of each physical and chemical process, and its relevance to applications, e.g., groundwater management, geothermal energy, CO2 storage, waste disposal, and oil/gas production.
LernzielThis course will enable students to understand and model basic physical and chemical processes in the subsurface, such as fluid flow, reactive transport, heat transfer, and fluid-rock interactions in a porous and/or fractured medium. The students will learn the underlying governing equations, followed by a demonstration of their solution, analytically or numerically. By the end of the course, the student should be able to:
1. Understand, formulate, derive, and solve basic equations of fluid flow, heat transfer, and solute transport;
2. Understand the physical processes governing multiphase flow and be able to simplify a general formulation into a simpler and more practical modeling problem;
3. Solve simple flow problems affected by fluid density (induced by solute concentration or temperature);
4. Understand uncertainties pertaining to these processes in regional geofluid systems;
5. Assess simple coupled reactive transport problems.
Inhalt1) Introduction to the basic concepts of fluid flow in the subsurface
2) Immiscible fluid flow in porous/fractured media
3) Reactive transport, heat transfer and solute transport
4) Density-driven flow
5) Uncertainty estimation
6) Reactive transport
7) Fluid injection and production
8) Fluid-rock interactions (non-mechanical)

(8b) mineral dissolution/precipitation affecting rock porosity and permeability
