What will I learn?
The Laboratory Geologist Course equips you with hands-on, lab-based skills to plan projects, manage field samples, and provide solid data for design choices. You will learn about collecting and preparing samples, maintaining chain of custody, and then dive into XRF, XRD, carbonate testing, petrography, soil classification, density, porosity, grain size, water interaction, strength, durability, quality assurance/control, safety protocols, and preparing clear reports ready for engineers.
