Structural Geology Course
Dive into structural geology with practical training tailored for geology and geography professionals. You'll learn precise field measurements of faults and folds, drafting balanced cross-sections, stereonet analysis for kinematics, tectonic reconstructions, and crafting clear, evidence-based reports ideal for mapping projects and resource exploration in real-world scenarios.

What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills in accurately measuring faults, folds, and bedding in the field, evaluating data quality, and creating robust datasets. Master constructing conceptual cross-sections, using stereonets, classifying folds, analysing fault kinematics, and piecing together tectonic histories. Wrap up by producing professional reports linking local features to broader tectonic contexts.
