The students are expected to learn how to convert geological information acquired from different fields of geology into digital inputs, and to be able draw geological maps, columnar sections, geological sections, and structural diagrams such as rose- and contour diagrams. Creating a variety of XY and XYZ diagrams (including ternary diagrams) and forming custom templates to use for the interpretation of petrographic and geochemical data are also taught. |
