The course provides theoretical and practical training in measuring, quantifying and understanding the physical processes within the geological marine environment; provides a sound scientific basis on which to decide how best to design and execute marine surveys, be they geophysical, sedimentological or geological, for the required purpose; a series of modules have been designed to explain the processes that form and characterise a wide variety of sedimentary environments, from the littoral zone to the deep ocean; those controls range from the dynamical, chemical, climatic to geological; all are inter-related; the student gains knowledge and understanding of survey techniques in order to map these environments and thereby gain a better understanding of the processes that shape them; the final facet of the course involves an explanation of how these sedimentary materials react to imposed loads: How they behave geotechnically.
