Students become acquainted with fossils, which consist the evidence of evolution, and their use in geological research. Also, during this module information concerning the main groups of organisms that are commonly found as fossils are provided.<\/p>\n<p>Since the first moment that life appeared on earth 4 billion years ago, life on earth is under constant evolution. New species appear, while others disappear. Fossils are the unquestionable testimony of this evolution through the geological ages, thus due to their continuous change they allow us to record and understand the age of the rocks that they were found in, as well as the prevailing palaeoenvironmental conditions when they were still alive, or when they died and were deposited in the sediments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Upon successful completion of this course the students will be able to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Identify fossils.<\/li>\n<li>Understand, implement and discuss the basics of Palaeontology, what fossil and fossilisation is, how the fossilisation and preservation processes work and finally what taphonomy is.<\/li>\n<li>Understand, implement and discuss information on the origin, development and evolution of life, what mass extinctions are, when they occur and what their impact is on the evolution of life.<\/li>\n<li>Learn about the main groups of organisms that first appeared and prevailed during the Phanerozoic eon.<\/li>\n<li>Understand that the earth is a changing world and these changes have a direct impact on the evolution and making of life on earth.<\/li>\n<li>Become competent in identifying some of the most important and common groups of organisms that can be found as fossils.<\/li>\n<li>Correlate organisms with certain environments which could be used to define the respective depositional environments.<\/li>\n<li>Use these methods in order to contribute in the stratigraphic research and the understanding of the palaeoenvironment when stratigraphic methods such as biostratigraphy and chronostratigraphy are used.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>General Competences<br><\/strong><\/td><td>\n<p>Generally, by the end of this course the student will, furthermore, have developed the following general abilities:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Search, analyse and synthesize data and information, using the necessary technologies.<\/li>\n<li>Working in a multidisciplinary environment<\/li>\n<li>Working in an international environment.<\/li>\n<li>Independent work.<\/li>\n<li>Group work.<\/li>\n<li>Generating new research ideas.<\/li>\n<li>Respecting the environment.<\/li>\n<li>Criticism and self-criticism.<\/li>\n<li>Promoting free and creative thinking.<\/li>\n<li>Respecting diversity and multiculturalism.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Syllabus<\/strong><\/td><td>\n<ol>\n<li>Fossils \u2013 Fossilisation \u2013 Categories of fossils \u2013 Ways of fossilisation<\/li>\n<li>Species \u2013 Systematics \u2013 Phylogenesis \u2013 Determination of of species \u2013 Nomenclature.<\/li>\n<li>Palaeoecology \u2013 Taphonomy.<\/li>\n<li>What life is \u2013 Origin and evolution of life on earth \u2013 Mass extinctions.<\/li>\n<li>Protists \u2013 Metazoans &#8211; Invertebrates &#8211; Chordates.<\/li>\n<li>Bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods, brachiopods, echinoderms, trilobites, corals<\/li>\n<li>Vertebrates, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, hominids.<\/li>\n<li>Palaeobotany<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Delivery<\/strong><\/td><td>&nbsp;Lectures and laboratory practice face to face.

New species appear, while others disappear. Fossils are the unquestionable testimony of this evolution through the geological ages, thus due to their continuous change they allow us to record and understand the age of the rocks that they were found in, as well as the prevailing palaeoenvironmental conditions when they were still alive, or when they died and were deposited in the sediments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Upon successful completion of this course the students will be able to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Identify fossils.<\/li>\n<li>Understand, implement and discuss the basics of Palaeontology, what fossil and fossilisation is, how the fossilisation and preservation processes work and finally what taphonomy is.<\/li>\n<li>Understand, implement and discuss information on the origin, development and evolution of life, what mass extinctions are, when they occur and what their impact is on the evolution of life.<\/li>\n<li>Learn about the main groups of organisms that first appeared and prevailed during the Phanerozoic eon.<\/li>\n<li>Understand that the earth is a changing world and these changes have a direct impact on the evolution and making of life on earth.<\/li>\n<li>Become competent in identifying some of the most important and common groups of organisms that can be found as fossils.<\/li>\n<li>Correlate organisms with certain environments which could be used to define the respective depositional environments.<\/li>\n<li>Use these methods in order to contribute in the stratigraphic research and the understanding of the palaeoenvironment when stratigraphic methods such as biostratigraphy and chronostratigraphy are used.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>General Competences<br><\/strong><\/td><td>\n<p>Generally, by the end of this course the student will, furthermore, have developed the following general abilities:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Search, analyse and synthesize data and information, using the necessary technologies.<\/li>\n<li>Working in a multidisciplinary environment<\/li>\n<li>Working in an international environment.<\/li>\n<li>Independent work.<\/li>\n<li>Group work.<\/li>\n<li>Generating new research ideas.<\/li>\n<li>Respecting the environment.<\/li>\n<li>Criticism and self-criticism.<\/li>\n<li>Promoting free and creative thinking.<\/li>\n<li>Respecting diversity and multiculturalism.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Syllabus<\/strong><\/td><td>\n<ol>\n<li>Fossils \u2013 Fossilisation \u2013 Categories of fossils \u2013 Ways of fossilisation<\/li>\n<li>Species \u2013 Systematics \u2013 Phylogenesis \u2013 Determination of of species \u2013 Nomenclature.<\/li>\n<li>Palaeoecology \u2013 Taphonomy.<\/li>\n<li>What life is \u2013 Origin and evolution of life on earth \u2013 Mass extinctions.<\/li>\n<li>Protists \u2013 Metazoans &#8211; Invertebrates &#8211; Chordates.<\/li>\n<li>Bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods, brachiopods, echinoderms, trilobites, corals<\/li>\n<li>Vertebrates, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, hominids.<\/li>\n<li>Palaeobotany<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Delivery<\/strong><\/td><td>&nbsp;Lectures and laboratory practice face to face.

The aim of the course is to acquire advanced knowledge and skills in topics related to deformation of active faults as it is imprinted on the Earth&#8217;s landscape. In particular, the educational objectives of the course will include recognition of the landscape changes that accompany different types of active faults in deformed geotectonic environments. Identification of active faults will be based on special landscapes close to the fault trace, on the fluvial geomorphology and on the drainage pattern. Furthermore, in order the students to understand the concepts and the key landscapes attesting to the active deformation a series of examples from active faults in Greece and key slides from active faults worldwide are presented. Furthermore we use examples of ground failures during recent earthquakes of Greece. The analysis and implementation of the concepts to be learned will also be done within the workshop with calculations and classifications of geomorphological indices. The composition and assessment of the knowledge in the course will result in students being able to recognize active faults and their capability in hosting strong earthquakes.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>General Competences<br><\/strong><\/td><td>\n<p>By the end of this course the student will have develop the following skills (general abilities)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Search; analyze key observations regarding active faults.

The aim of the course is to acquire advanced knowledge and skills in subjects related to the geological evolution of Greece and its prolongation in countries bordering Greece. Students will learn the geological evolution of the Greek mountain ranges from the Paleozoic to the Cenozoic Eras. Also the objective of the course is to acquire advanced knowledge and skills on issues related to the structure of the Hellenic Palaeogeographic province during the Alpine orogeny. The creation of the mountain ranges in Greece that has formed during the convergence of a series of lithospheric plates being bordering the Tethys Ocean and its splays. The complexity of this palaeogeographic province and its structural evolution is high. The Hellenides mountain range includes magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks that amalgamated in a complex collage of rocks with peculiar grading in their deformation and metamorphism.<\/p>\n<p>The students after the successful completeness of the course will be able to know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The paleogeographic and structural variability within the various branches of Tethys (i.e. the Palaeo-Tethys and Neo-Tethys) those that were important for the final complexity of the Greek mountain ranges.<\/li>\n<li>The ways of moving the individual lithospheric units that compiled the Greek mountain ranges.<\/li>\n<li>The rocks deformation, magmatism and metamorphic processes that occurred in the Tethys Ocean area and when the rift-drift procedure of the lithospheric units that eventually led to the formation of the Greek mountain ranges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>General Competences<br><\/strong><\/td><td>\n<ul>\n<li>Search and analyze key observations regarding tectonostratigraphy and stratigraphy of the Hellenides mountain range.
