Syllabus: | Supervised production of a geological map and a geological report of a local area of moderately complex geology. Mapping in the field will be in association with a photogeological study of the area. Part of the associated field work is to be undertaken during the mid semester "field week". Some short field trips may also be undertaken. A carefully hand drafted or a CAD and presented map and report is to be submitted by the last day of semester in which the work was undertaken. This unit is of six hours per week with the major component held over a five day mid semester field camp and excursion followed by independent map preparation and report writing. |

Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this unit students will have the ability to - work consistently in the field, recognise all the major rock types and effectively map their distribution, analyse moderately complex structures and stratigraphic relationships, carefully draft and present field data on an appropriately scaled and presented map and cross section and prepare a well structured, illustrated and presented report detailing the geology and accurately describing the units, structures and stratigraphic relationships. Present a carefully, researched, prepared, well organised and presented geological history. |
