Learning Outcomes
During the course, the students are expected to:
• Recognize igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks in the field.
• Recognize altered rocks.
• Recognize various structures related with igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic processes.
• Understand the different metamorphic phases and how they connect with various metamorphic rocks.
• Relate the geotectonic evolution of the Rhodope massif during Eocene to Miocene with the magmatism, metamorphism and sedimentation.
• Link theoretical knowledge with practical applications during field work. A first attempt to construct simple geological sections.
• Adapt to field conditions.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Be critical and self-critical
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
• Geology of the Circum Rodhope Zone, of the Serbian-Macedonian massif and the Rhodope massif
• Mineralogy, petrography, age and origin of the plutonic rocks of Kavala, Philippi, Xanthi, Paranesti and the volcanic rocks of Sounio, Alexandroupolis, Ferres.
• Metamorphic rocks of the Rhodope massif and Circum Rodhope Zone.
• Sedimentary rocks of the Rhodope massif and Circum Rodhope Zone.
• Discussion of individual petrological issues for each one of the magmatic rocks mentioned above (genesis, enclaves, xenoliths, alterations, contacts, country rocks, chemistry, Magma origin and evolution, geotectonic environment, etc.).
• Discussion and summary of the origin of all magmatic rocks, as well as their relationship to metamorphism.
• Discussion on the role of sedimentary rocks in understanding paleogeography and geotectonic evolution of the area.
• Geodynamic setting of the Rhodope massif during the Eocene-Miocene period.
