What will I learn?
The Laboratory Geologist Course provides practical, lab-based skills to plan projects, manage field samples, and produce reliable data for design choices. You will learn about sample collection, preparation, and chain-of-custody procedures, then progress to XRF, XRD, carbonate testing, petrography, soil classification, density, porosity, grain-size analysis, water interaction, strength, durability, QA/QC, safety protocols, and clear reporting tailored for engineers.
