| GEOLOGY OF SEDIMENTARY BASINS FOR ENERGY RESOURCES
(objectives)
Sedimentary basins are first-order geological structures capable of hosting abundant reserves of non-renewable resources (e.g., oil, gas, coal) and renewables (e.g., geothermal energy). Their sustainable exploitation is of vital importance to face the growing global energy demand in the coming decades, respecting the environment, with special regard to the impact of energy production on climate change and to ensure a gradual and balanced transition from fossil energy sources to renewable sources. The aim of the course is to provide students with a theoretical and practical basis (through the use of modern quantitative analysis techniques) for the reconstruction of the dynamics, internal architecture and thermicity of sedimentary basins for “responsible” energy exploration and production.
