Field and Laboratory Studies in Geoscience - GEOS207
This unit integrates projects, lectures and laboratory classes to develop theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience needed to map, describe and interpret rocks in the field and laboratory. Field studies 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 include the preparation of materials for optical and X-ray diffraction studies and the identification of minerals using these methods.
