The geo-history of oil shale in Estonia

Zoom Link: https://dieangewandte-at.zoom.us/j/65584240536

Guest Lecture: Riho Mötlep, Institute for Geology and Earth Science, University of Tartu

Topics: What is oil shale? Topography of extraction Waste/Environmental impact

Methodological Briefing: Mindaugas Gapševičius & Felix Bonowski, Bauhaus University Weimar

Topics: acoustic ecology, chromatography, listening exercises; Instructions for Group Work (3- 5 people)

Homework: Idea paper (1 page): What relational dynamics / transformations do you want to explore?

Follow Briefing on Google Drive.

Key Steps (in preparation of field week)

▪       Select an object, organism, specimen, people or places to study

▪       Conduct preparatory research based on course readings and online lectures

▪       Summarize your research interest/planned experiment in the research diary on your personal wiki page

  • 5+ sentences background info,
  • 10+ sentences description: main object/focus of fieldwork, research question, anticipated outcomes
  • 5+ technical description: tools, method, process
  • 5+ references

Due: by April 30th 2025 noon
