What will I learn?
The Laboratory Geologist Course equips you with practical, lab-based skills to plan projects, manage field samples, and provide solid data for design choices. You'll learn about collecting and preparing samples, maintaining chain of custody, and then dive into XRF, XRD, carbonate testing, petrography, soil sorting, density, porosity, grain size, water effects, strength, durability, quality checks, safety, and straightforward reports ready for engineers.
