Geoscience in the Field and Laboratory - GEOS910
This unit is for students without previous formal studies in geology. It uses projects integrated with lectures and laboratory classes to develop the theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience needed to map, describe and interpret rocks in the field and the laboratory. Field studies will involve remote sensing methods, conventional air photo interpretation and ground-based observations of rock-types, rock structures and the relationship between geology and topography. Laboratory studies will include the preparation of materials for optical and x-ray diffraction studies and the identification of minerals using these methods.
