Methods of 3D geologic data collection, manipulation and interpretation. Special emphasis on maps and cross sections and the geometric methods and data types used to understand and work with 3D geologic relationships. Course will be lab-dominated and teach the use of: geologic maps, subsurface data (well logs, core lithologs, seismic profiles, etc.); 3D reconstruction (geometry and relationship of deposits and surfaces with processes over time); controls on geologic body architecture; relative dating; cross-cutting relations, unconformities.
This course may not be repeated for credit.
