What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills in Structural Geology to accurately measure faults, folds, and bedding planes, evaluate data reliability, and create solid field datasets. Master constructing conceptual cross-sections, using stereonets, classifying folds, analysing fault movements, and piecing together tectonic histories. End with professional reports linking local features to broader tectonic patterns.
