Course description

Plate tectonic processes exert a key influence on the development of landscapes through not only Earth deformation, but also through their influence on climate. Earth deformation processes are most intense at active plate margins. This field course will concentrate its investigation on boundaries of the Indo-Australian plate to examine how surface geomorphology is influenced by deep-earth processes. This course is a field trip course that requires travel to New Zealand and will be held in February (prior to semester one commencement). Additional fees are payable. For further information, and to express your interest in applying for this course, please see the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences . In the event that students complete the fieldwork and then subsequently withdraw from this course without financial liability, the School reserves the right to charge full cost recovery for this fieldtrip.

ERTH2110 replaces GEOS2110 — Tectonics of Active Plate Boundaries from 2021 onwards.
