The aim of the course:
The course aims to provide the students with a general knowledge on structural analysis techniques (descriptive analysis, kinematic analysis and dynamic analysis) and structural features of the Earth?s crust (joints, faults, folds, cleavage, lineation, boudinage) , and tectonites.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : learn basic principles and methods of structural geology.1.2 - 2.1 - 4.11,4,
LO - 2 : recognize various structures in different deformation regimes.1.2 - 2.1 - 4.11,4,
LO - 3 : know how to document structural data in a scientific written report1.2 - 2.1 - 4.11,4,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
