Field Study in Geoscience
The course begins with preparatory reading and exercises which are done at home and at your own pace during the summer. The course ends with a 7-day field study.
During the field study, we will learn how to use our geoscientific skills to unravel the climate of the past. We will be studying spectacular Neoproterozoic rocks and fossils on the shores of Lake Vättern and on Visingsö which are unique in Sweden. We will also explore how tectonic movements and glacial processes have shaped the spectacular landscape of this, one of the most picturesque parts of Sweden. Based on data collected during the field study, we will build a geological history of Lake Vättern from the Neoproterozoic to modern times.
