About the course
You will learn theoretical and practical concepts in structural geology. How to identify, describe and collect structural data and relate them to various tectonic environments. How to analyse structural data and convert two-dimensional surface data into three-dimensional interpretations. Analysis of overprinting criteria to interpret relative timing and the fourth dimension (structural evolution). Rock and soil stability for engineering purposes and many other concepts directly applicable to a professional career.
