Geological Field Course III: Crystalline Rocks

Geologischer Feldkurs III: Kristallin

Lecturers & Examiners: Dr. Andrea Galli
Priority is given to D-ERDW BSc students (6th semester). If space is available UZH Geography and Earth System Sciences students may attend this field course at full cost. The course 651-4131-00L Introduction to Digital Mapping is highly recommended as a prerequisite, since tablets are used for mapping in field course III.

Abstract

Using modern methods, students will draw a geologic map and profiles so that tectono-metamorphic processes in the Alps can be understood.

Objective

Students learn how to draw a geologic map and geologic profiles using modern digital methods, how to take representative rock samples, and, how the combination of geologic mapping and profiles leads to the understanding of the processes that shape the continental crust.

Content

Digital geological mapping, sampling, alpine tectonics, metamorphic processes.

Resources

Lecture Notes

Handouts and an introduction to digital mapping will be given before the course.
