| JLJ4026 | Photogeology and Remote Sensing | 2+1+0 | ECTS:3 | | Year / Semester | Spring Semester | | Level of Course | First Cycle | | Status | Elective | | Department | DEPARTMENT of GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING | | Prerequisites and co-requisites | None | | Mode of Delivery | | | Contact Hours | 14 weeks - 2 hours of lectures and 1 hour of practicals per week | | Lecturer | Prof. Dr. Reyhan KARA GÜLBAY | | Co-Lecturer | | | Language of instruction | Turkish | | Professional practise ( internship ) | None | | | | The aim of the course: | | It aims to draw geological maps by determining the units on the aerial photographs, to determine the stratigraphy and structural elements, and thus to make sound planning before the fieldwork, to control after the fieldwork and to make more effective decisions during the fieldwork. |
| Learning Outcomes | CTPO | TOA | | Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to : | | | | LO - 1 : | have technical knowledge about aerial photographs, they must be able to create stereoscopic couples to obtain a three-dimensional image by using aerial photographs of a region, and they can measure length and height on aerial photographs. | 1,2,4 | 1,3, | | LO - 2 : | distinguish the units observed in the field on aerial photographs and create a geological map by drawing unit boundaries. | 1,2,4 | 1,3, | | LO - 3 : | form the stratigraphy of the region by determining the layer positions and unconformities of the sedimentary units on the aerial photograph. | 2,4 | 1,3, | | LO - 4 : | identify structural features (faults, folds) on aerial photographs | 1,2,4 | 1,3, | | 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 | | |
| Definition of photogeology, technical features of aerial photographs, parameters used in the geological interpretation of aerial photographs, petrographic evaluation on aerial photographs (sedimentary, magmatic and metamorphic rocks), determination of layer positions and unconformities, tectonic interpretation on aerial photographs. |
