Description:
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1.To comprehend basic knowledge and understanding of the interrelationship of natural sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology) underlying the study of marine environment
2. To develop an awareness of the wider spectrum of geological disciplines
3. To be awarea nd understand the temporal and spatial dimensions in Earth processes
4. To develop asic ability to describe a solution at an abstract level.
5. To develop ability to use simple quantitative methods and to apply them to geological problems.
