Structural Geology Course
Develop essential Structural Geology expertise for careers in geology and geography. Acquire abilities to accurately measure faults and folds in the field, construct balanced cross-sections, analyse stereonets for kinematics, interpret regional tectonics, and deliver clear, evidence-based reports suited for mapping projects and resource exploration.

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