Creating geological maps and cross-sections from fieldwork and measurement of stratigraphic sections. The fieldwork will concentrate on rock identification and field relationships of sedimentary and either or both of igneous and metamorphic rocks and basic structural geology. Field exercises will normally be conducted off campus for about 10-12 days prior to the Fall Term of second year. Mapping and field skills will include map interpretation, using the compass for navigation, and measuring planar and linear features. Detailed maps will be prepared using instrumental techniques.
This course may not be repeated for credit.
