Subject Description

On completion of this subject, students will have developed the skills in field geology which are relevant to the understanding of deformed rocks, and the skills to draw together observations from petrology and structural geology to interpret Earth processes. They will appreciate how the processes which occur within and between plates can be interpreted in terms of the stress and strain in the outer parts of the Earth.

Assessment

Field work is assessed by written reports and field exercises, up to 20 pages in total.
