Georesources Management at RWTH Aachen
Outdoor Work During Geology Studies
Methodological skills are taught right from the beginning in RWTH Aachen geoscience studies. Practical experiences on sites and outdoor tutorials prepare students for the use of the most modern investigative methods later in their careers. They are conducted near Aachen (for example in the Eifel), and later on sites further away. You can find current and post outdoor projects on the Teaching and Research Area for Neotectonics and Georisks website. A film on sediment analysis on Lake Ohrid shows how Bachelor students gather data outdoors, in order to evaluate it later in their final papers and projects.
Structural Geology Lecture
Geological deformations to Aachen printen? Not possible? Yes it is! A glance in a Bachelor lecture by Aachen Professor Janos Urai on structural geology shows the priciples of "Bending and Breaking". Professor Urai is speaking in English.
