Advanced Methods in Structural Geology

Catalog description

Description: Techniques in modern structural geology are changing fast. Students in this course will learn to use cutting-edge techniques in structural analysis to solve problems in the geosciences. At the end of this course, you will have collected structural data using a digital data system, analyzed geodetic data to calculate strain, use data collected from uncrewed aerial vehicles to create digital elevation models and characterize fractures, and conduct traditional fracture analyses from outcrop data. Field trips required.
