Geological Fieldwork: Data Acquisition

Classroom instruction: introduction to the fieldwork, lectures on geological mapping techniques and cross-section construction.

Fieldwork: basic field observations and interpretations, mapping and sampling techniques, use of remote sensing techniques, aerial photographs and topographic base maps, compiling a data report with accompanying maps and cross-sections in accordance with international standards.

Formative Pre-fieldwork: assignments, to be handed in before the fieldwork

Formative: During fieldwork:

• feed back during a progress meeting after about 10 days of field work,

• feedback on participation by all supervisors

• feedback on two written and hand-drawn data reports, one on the geology, one on the remote sensing excersizes, to be handed in on the last day of the fieldwork.

Judgement: Grades will be given to the following parts of the course:

the two final reports (geology en remote sensing) handed in at the end of the period

All parts will count equally for the final grade.
There is no resit: if students fail, students have to redo the fieldwork at their own expense.
