GEOS307: Field Geology and Mapping |
(WV Session dates: 1 July - 20 July 2006)
Day and External Students: compulsory field excursion 10 to 18 July; location to be announced.
This unit aims to integrate stratigraphic, sedimentological, structural, igneous and tectonic field studies in a varied terrain. It provides extended experience in geological mapping, particularly in photogeological techniques and study of local to regional relations, and requires preparation of a field report. Day students should attend class sessions in the month before the excursion to complete initial photo-interpretation and other preparatory work; distance education students should contact the unit chairperson regarding preliminary work. The excursion involves bushwalking, for which a reasonable level of physical fitness is required and tutorial/data-plotting work in the evenings.
