To provide students with the key principles of structural geology and to demonstrate how geological structures relate to geological maps. To develop the field skills of positioning, observation, recording and interpretation in the context of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, geological maps, landforms and tectonic structures.To provide students with the principles of geological and geophysical exploration for natural resources by a practical understanding of the techniques of geological mapping and remote sensing. A one week residential field class on the Isle of Arran forms part of this module.
