What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills in measuring faults, folds, and bedding precisely, evaluating data reliability, and creating solid field datasets. Master constructing cross sections, using stereonets, identifying fold types, analyzing fault movements, and tracing tectonic history. End with professional reports tying local features to broader tectonic patterns.
