EMSC3024
In this two day trip, students learn about the formation and evolution of rocks in the Lachlan Fold Belt near Cooma. Students will be making and recording observations of formations in the field. By analysing these data and linking them to geochemical data, they can develop models of how the structures formed and evolved over time. Seeing these structures in the field provides an extra level of information over what is available from hand specimens, and allows the large-scale geological relationships to be observed.
