What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills in Structural Geology to precisely measure faults, folds, and bedding, evaluate data accuracy, and create robust field datasets. Master constructing conceptual cross-sections, using stereonets, classifying folds, analyzing fault movements, and tracing tectonic histories. Conclude by producing professional reports linking local features to broader tectonic contexts.
