Introduction to reading and construction of simple geologic maps.Construction of geological cross-sections.Introduction to Lambert projection and Schmidt net (i.e., stereoplots).This course is mainly a hands-on-training, where students solve exercises in small groups under supervision.

Mapping of sedimentary rocks and stratigraphic units with the final production of a geological map at 1:10.000 scale. Writing a report illustrating the main facies and characters of the units, the Quaternary surficial deposits and the tectonic structures affecting the sedimentary rocks.

In this course, students will gain hands-on experience performing laboratory and index tests commonly used in Rock and Soil Mechanics. The course is divided into two modules, with half the semester devoted to soil mechanics testing, and half to rock mechanics testing.
