MGEWX02 Deformation durch Vulkane und Tektonik: Prozesse, Messmethoden und Interpretation - Einzelansicht

start in the last october week

The module provides an introduction into volcanic and tectonic deformation processes, with special cross-discipline emphasizes that include geologic field observations, geodetic monitoring technologies and geophysical interpretation tools. Processes related to gravity tectonics, spreading, body forces, magma tectonics, dike emplacements and cooling, and faulting related deformation will be discussed. In addition, the course investigates the couplings between volcanoes and tectonic processes.
