Marine Geotechnics
This course introduces students to the basic laboratory methods for measuring the geotechnical properties of marine sediments.
This includes measurements of index properties, undrained shear strength, consolidation and permeability. Students will learn how to integrate these results with geophysical data to describe the bottom stratigraphy, geotechnical properties and geological history of a sampling site.
The course deals with:
- Sediment characterisation for marine offshore site investigations.
- Index properties and classification schemes for marine sediments.
- Undrained shear strength of marine sediments.
- Consolidation and permeability of marine sediments.
Course period Spring 2024: Period 1

Course literature
Note that the course literature can be changed up to two months before the start of the course.
Literature material will be handed out during the course.

Course reports
Course evaluations allow the possibility to affect and take responsibility for your own learning and gives important information for our work with pedagogical development.
It's important that all students complete the course evaluations after each course, it gives the Department the opportunity to improve the courses' quality.
The course evaluation is composed of a number of questions and specific questions for each course. If you, as a student, want to contribute with more course specific questions you may send them to studies@geo.su.se.
If you haven't received the course evaluation for your finished course, or if you have other questions regarding course evaluations at IGV please contact studies@geo.su.se.
Course evaluation = student's review of the course
Course report = course leader's reflections about the review -
