Geological Fieldwork: Data Integration

In this course, students will work in small groups to produce a scientific/technical report consisting of two parts.

In the first part of the report, data gathered during the geological fieldwork will be placed in broader scientific framework provided by background information from the scientific literature.

The second part of the report is devoted to integration of fieldwork data with RS data for the purpose of empirical classification, in order to evaluate the extent to which automated mapping of the fieldwork area is possible. This part also includes prediction of the geological structure of a fieldwork area mapped by another group of students.

Each group receives written feedback from the group whose fieldwork area has been evaluated based on RS data alone, and is expected to reflect on this peer assessment in written form.

This course effectively forms one course together with AESB2430.
