Summary |
---|
The aim is to acquire knowledge about groups of microfossils used in the oil industry, possibilities of their use in stratigraphy, evaluation of hydrocarbon potential and in palaeoecological analyzes. |
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
---|
Students will learn about the various groups of microfossils, morphology and use. They are able to analyze the suitability of the methods used for a particular material and purpose. |
