Course Goal / Objective
Students will gain basic knowledge about radiogenic isotope geochemistry. They will learn about the use of radiogenic isotopes in determining geological events.
Course Content
Within the scope of the course, basic information about radiogenic isotopes is given to graduate students and their areas of use in geology are explained. Graduate students are taught how to solve geology problems with this data.
Course Precondition
None
