Content
The topic will be decided on an individual basis and depends on the field of specialisation of the PhD student. The project topic may be a subfield of one or several of the following geoscientific disciplines. Also subfields of geoscientific disciplines, or disciplines related to geosciences that are not mentioned here are possible:
Sequence stratigraphy and depositional systems, structural geology, petrography and geochemistry including mineralogy and isotope geochemistry, exploration geophysics and petrophysics, subsurface interpretation, geostatistics and decision analysis, construction of geomodels, and geospatial applications.

Folder evaluation with report and performance
The student has to write a report and give an oral presentation on the same topic. In agreement with the student, the supervisor of the PhD student defines the topic at the beginning of the course. The report may, e. g., be an internal report or a congress abstract. The oral presentation accordingly may be official or unofficial (with or without audience). The decision for this and for the length and structure of the report and for the oral presentation is taken by the supervisor.
The final grade will be based on the quality of the report and the oral presentation. The two parts will count for 50 % each of the final grade. There is no opportunity to retake any of the parts
