EMSC1008/EMSC6008 
The skills needed to identify minerals and rocks, the building blocks of this planet will be taught through lectures, practicals and our field trips. Over a 5-day field trip to the South Coast of NSW, students will spend each day at a different locality making measurements and observations about the geology of the area. Students will learn valuable field skills such as how to use a compass for measuring strike and dip, geological mapping, how to put together a stratigraphic column, and how to take detailed field notes.
