GEOLOGIA CON LABORATORIO

• Understanding geological processes and their relation with the geodynamic contexts;
• Understanding the primary and the deformed geometries of rock bodies;
• Understanding criteria and methods in reconstructing 2D and 3D stratigraphic and structural data;
• Basic Knowledge of regional geology;
• Competence in using and interpreting geological maps;

Ability in constructing 2D geometries by using surface and subsurface data and drawing geological cross-sections.

The course consists of 42 hours lectures integrated with 36 hours of practical activities dedicated to achievement of abilities in the application of the acquired knowledge

Topic 1: criteria and methods for reconstructing the 3D geometries of rock bodies; ability in costructing basic geological cross-sections

Topic 2: study and analysis of the sedimentary process and of the sedimentary rocks; ability and competence in recognizing and classifying sedimentary rocks

Topic 3: competence in interpreting the paleogeographic and paleotectonic significance of stratigraphic successions

Topic 4: competence in recognising and descibing tectonic structures; ability in constructing geological sections reproducing complex contexts.
