| Prerequisites (description): | It is highly recommended for a student to familiarize himself/herself with regional geology and geological history of the Lower Silesia. |
| Short description: |
The field course takes place in the East and Central Sudetes, SW Poland. Its programme covers the issuses of mineralogy, geochemistry, and petrology of igneous and metamorphic rocks, and explores the Sudetic area in terms of its structure, regional setting and geological history combined with records of geological processes. |
| Full description: |
The field course presents the basics of geological setting of the East and Central Sudetes in context of geological history of the Lower Silesia and the Bohemian Massif. The main issues of the course focus on the Palaeozoic amalgamation and the Variscan orogeny recorded by igneous and metamorphic rocks of the area of interest. During 5 days of field works the students will study ca. 30 key localities of the Sudetic area and their inventory of lithological varieties, structures, deformations and mineral assemblages. The recently published views, current interpretations and proposed scenarios on genesis, magmatic and tectonometamorphic evolution of the visited units will be presented and discussed. The field practice will also help to master and extend the knowledge and practical skills acquired at classes on mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry held during the three years of the B.Sc.-degree geological studies. The scope of the course: 1) the Sudetic ophiolite (outcrops in Nasławice, Przemiłów, Nowa Ruda, Mały Bożków) 2) granitoid massifs and their metamorphic envelopes (the Strzegom-Sobótka massif, Kłodzko-Złoty Stok massif, the Niemcza zone igneous rocks) 3) metamorphic series of the Lądek-Śnieżnik area (outcrops in Stary Gierałtów, Lądek Zdrój, Kletno, Idzików) 4) the Sowie Góry gneiss massif (outcrops in Zagórze Śląskie, Bystrzyca Górna, Piława Dolna) 5) volcanism (outcrops in Głuszyca Górna, Targowica and Lutynia) |
