GEOS811: Field Techniques in Geoscience

This is a field based unit with a strong emphasis on the observation and delineation of rock units using simple mapping techniques. The concepts of depositional environments, rock succession and rock deformation will be developed during small-group tutorials. A final report will include a discussion on the tectonic evolution of the area covered by the field mapping.
