Course objectives

Aim of the course is understanding and practical skills to use the methods of preparation of geological sections and mounts, including possibilities and limitations of individual approaches.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this course, student will know preparation methods and will be able to prepare basic types of rock sections and mounts used in geological research – thin section, polished thin section, polished mount (polished section). Students will also understand possibilities and limitations of individual methods.
