| 651-4341-00L | Source to Sink Sedimentary Systems  | O | 3 KP | 2G | T. I. Eglinton, J. Hemingway, S. Willett | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The transfer and redistribution of mass and chemical elements at the Earth’s surface is controlled by a wide range of processes that will affect the magnitude and nature of fluxes exported from continental fluvial systems. This course addresses the production, transport, and deposition of sediments from source to sink and their interaction with biogeochemical cycles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | This course aims at integrating different earth science disciplines (geomorphology, geochemistry, and tectonics) to gain a better understanding of the physical and biogeochemical processes at work across the sediment production, routing, and depositional systems. It will provide insight into how it is actually possible to “see a world in a grain of sand” by taking into account the cascade of physical and chemical processes that shaped and modified sediments and chemical elements from their source to their sink. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Lectures will introduce the main source to sink concepts and cover physical and biogeochemical processes in upland, sediment producing areas (glacial and periglacial processes; mass movements; hillslopes and soil processes/development; critical zone biogeochemical processes). Field excursion (3 days, 8-10 October): will cover the upper Rhône from the Rhône glacier to the Rhône delta in Lake Geneva) as small scale source-to-sink system. Practicals comprise (I) a small autonomous project on the Rhône catchment based on samples collected during the field trip and (II) an independent report on how you would design, build, and implement your own source-to-sink study. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Lecture notes are provided online during the course. They summarize the current subjects week by week and provide the essential theoretical background. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Lernziel | This course is a general introduction to the methods of seismic hazard analysis. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | In the course it is explained how the disciplines of seismology, geology, strong-motion geophysics, and earthquake engineering contribute to the evaluation of seismic hazard. It provides an overview of the input data and the tools in deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, and discusses the related uncertainties. The course includes the discussion related to Intensity and macroseismic scales, historical seismicity and earthquake catalogues, ground motion parameters used in earthquake engineering, definitions of the seismic source, ground motion attenuation, site effects and microzonation, and the use of numerical tools to estimate ground motion parameters, both in a deterministic and probabilistic sense. During the course recent earthquakes and their impacts are discussed and related to existing hazard assessments for the areas of interest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 651-4015-00L | Earthquakes I: Seismotectonics | O | 3 KP | 2G | A. P. Rinaldi, T. Diehl | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | If you're interested in knowing more about the relationship between seismicity and plate tectonics, this is the course for you. (If you're not that interested, but your program of study requires that you complete this course, this is also the course for you.) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The aim of the course is to obtain a basic understanding of the physical process behind earthquakes and their basic mathematical description. By the conclusion of this course, we hope that you will be able to: - describe the relationship between earthquakes and plate tectonics in a more sophisticated and complete way - explain earthquake source representations of varying complexity; - address earthquakes in the context of different tectonic settings; - explain the statistical behaviour of global earthquakes - describe and connect the ingredients for a seismotectonic study | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | The course features a series of 14 meetings, in which we review some fundamentals of continuum mechanics and tensor analysis required for a complete understanding of the relation between earthquakes and plate tectonics. Our goal is to help you understand deformation the small scale (fault) to the scale of plate tectonics. We will tell you about several ways to represent an earthquake source; we'll present these in order of increasing sophistication. You will enjoy (at least) a computer/class exercise and a guest lecture. Topics covered in the course include: review of stress and deformation in the Earth, stress and strain tensors, rheology and failure criteria, fault stresses, friction and effects of fluids earthquake focal mechanisms; relationship between stress fields and focal mechanisms; seismic moment and moment tensors; crustal deformation from seismic, geologic, and geodetic observations; earthquake stress drop, scaling, and source parameters; global earthquake distribution; current global earthquake activity; different seismotectonic regions; examples of earthquake activity in different tectonic settings. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
