The field trip has a three-yearly rotation, so different field trips take place to different regions with different professors.

2025: prof. Kervyn, Massif Central/Chaine des Puys/Ardeche

2024: prof. Vanmaercke, Moldavian Plateau / Eastern Romania

2023: prof. Verstraeten, Spain

The exam is oral; you get some preparation time for random questions. It is open book, so you get to take the excursion guide and the compiled notes.

2025: France

You always got two questions from this set: (sorry, they're dutch, but i dont have the time or energy to translate them myself; google is your friend)

Factoren die badlands veroorzaken en hoe zou je ze stoppen.
morfologie van Ardèche en welke processen/hoe geologie een invloed heeft based on plan view / DEM en teken daar wat profielen bij
flashfloods verschil in Ardèche en Allier en die dateren
wat zich onder de vulkanische gesteenten bevind en hoe en van wanneer die daar komen
What were the three monogenetic morphology types we saw and compre them in terms of composition, eruption type, and hazard
You are a hazard risk manager on the ardeche what types of hazards are there and how would you assess the risk and how would you minimize it
3 ways of lake forming a lake and where you can find them
different types of erutions ja en leg gwn basicly alles uit wa ge er van weet
Explain the meandering flow of the Ardèche, and the presence of its deep gorges around the Saint-Remeze plateau. Link this with the formation of caves.
Some deposits observed in the field were interpreted to result from phreato-magmatic eruptions. Describe what are the main characteristics of the deposit and the volcano morphology that can lead to that interpretation. Highlight how deposits from a phreato-magmatic eruption can vary within a single volcano and relate it to the evolution of the eruption dynamics.
Zet de volgende evenementen in chronologische volgorde. Geef voor elk aan wat de ruimtelijke omvang ervan is en hoe men deze kan dateren.
The Chaîne des Puys and the Limagne fault became a UNESCO World heritage site in 2018, and the Chauvet cave in 2014. Explain what this means and what are the arguments that were put forward in these applications. Explain what challenges these sites are facing for their preservation and their touristic valorization.
Waarom zijn de gorges in het Saint-Remeze plateau zo diep, hoe zijn ze gevormd en wanneer? Bespreek de verschillende fases.
2 stops bespreken die bewijs vormen voor uplift plioceen-pleistoceen en hoe we de rate van uplift daar konden bepalen
bespreek op verschillende ruimtelijke schalen de typische vorm van het kalksteenplateau in saint remèze
Alle knickpoints die we hebben gezien (beke een curveball) - noem er 4
