Anotace

Poslední úprava: Rudolf Trnka (05.01.2022)

This course is focused on application of Earth magnetism on solving various geology problems including magnetism of minerals and rocks, paleomagnetism, regional tectonic, geochronology studies and other special topics including paleoclimatic and biological applications. Lectures will complement readings of the recommended text, with additional perspectives. The lecture is further accompanied by recommended practical course Rock magnetism in practice (MG420P11). It is expected that the audience will have at least some geology and tectonic background. Basic knowledge of rock magnetism is welcomed. This lecture is not suitable for first year undergraduate students. The course will start in mid-late March 2022.
