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'll cover sample collection, preparation, and chain-of-custody procedures, then advance to XRF, XRD, carbonate testing, petrography, soil classification, density, porosity, grain-size analysis, water interaction, strength, durability, QA/QC, safety protocols, and straightforward reporting tailored for engineers.
