Geologic Maps and Field Methods is designed to introduce the students to applied aspects of field geology. The course includes exercises in several methods for mapping. Measuring and describing stratigraphic sections of sedimentary rocks, surficial deposits, soils, and geologic structures are important components of the course. The course also relies on interpretation of maps, aerial photographs, and satellite imagery to provide the student with a wide range of field analysis techniques.

Learning geologic field methods is time consuming. Remember that you will be applying a variety of techniques in real world situations, and there will inevitably be unforeseen complications. Working through these problems is just as important as learning the basics of each technique.
