Other Important Information

Projects with video lectures to replace the classroom and outcrop lectures with descriptions and images of the rocks that are provided along with GPS located field stop data; utilizing Google Earth Pro for 3-D visualization of outcrop settings, tracing contacts away from the video field stops, etc. A final written summary report of the regional geology completes the course based on your work in the earlier exercise.

A packet of site topographic maps for your geologic mapping and cross section construction, stereonet analysis, and other geologic analysis tools to develop and defend a geologic interpretation accompanies the course.
