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, analyzing fault movements, and tracing tectonic histories. End by producing professional reports linking local features to broader tectonic patterns.
