Structural Geology Course
This course builds essential Structural Geology expertise for careers in geology and geography. Participants learn accurate field measurements of faults and folds, construction of balanced cross-sections, stereonet-based kinematic analysis, tectonic reconstruction, and preparation of precise, evidence-based reports ideal 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 accuracy, and create dependable 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.
