Name of subject: Methods of Structural- Lithostratigraphic Research |
Instructors:
Prof. Marinko Toljić |
|
Status: Optional |
|
ECTS: 5 |
|
Prerequisites: - |
Course Objectives:
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the interconnectedness of tectonics and sedimentation, to identify structural-tectonic content based on sedimentation characteristics and to interpret the tectono-depositional evolution of the basin spaces. |
Learning Outcomes:
Students are trained for the reconstruction of tectonic-depositional system and interpretation of the tectonic evolution of the basin on the basis of the characteristics of sediments. |
Content:
Theory teaching
Introduction, Methods of work, Analysis of facies, formations, thickness and discordance in the function of studying tectonic regimes, paleo-structure maps and profiles, index maps of sedimentary subsidence, comparative analysis of thickness variations and composition of sediments on tectonic structures; Classical deposit systems and tectonics. Characteristics of sediments on con-sedimentary structures; catagenesis and epigenetic transformations of sedimentary rocks on tectonic structures; structural-lithostratigraphic research in the function of researching deposits of mineral resources and solving other geological problems. Synthesis and post-deposition tectonic evolution of basins. Practical teaching
Exercises-independent processing and presentation of selected topics, consultations, and discussion of practical problems. Solving practical problems of identifying the connection of tectonic structures and cogenetic types of sediments. |
