| Syllabus: | An intensive, practically-oriented course in recording, analysing, interpreting and documenting structural data from complexly deformed terrains. Topics to be covered include - recognition and geometric analysis of stress and strain in outcrop, ductile failure and unravelling multiply deformed sequences, brittle failure and the brittle-ductile transition with regard to controls on mineralisation, stereographic projections, and the presentation and documentation of complex geometries and histories. |
