Course objectives

The course summarizes the main ways of fieldwork geologist including field preparation. In terrain methods it is essential emphasis on geological documentation, compass measurements and geological mapping.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course students should be able to: use geological compass, read geological map, prepare geological cross-sections and interpret orientational data. They are prepared for Mapping course in the field.

Syllabus

• Used map projections and topographic map, preparation of topographic profile.
• Geological compass, orientation measurement.
• Geologic map, geologic map symbols. Some special geologic maps.
• Geological mapping, equipment for mapping.
• Geologic map interpretation, V-rule, three point problem, structure section.
• Geological bibliography.
• Some special methods.
