Course content
Description, classification, and interpretation of geological structures such as faults, folds, foliations, lineations, shear zones, kinematic indicators, and the relationships between such structures and tectonic phenomena such as compressional mountain building and extensional basin formation. Visualisation and calculation of folded and faulted rock units, especially how these appear on geological maps and cross sections. Collection and interpretation of data from areas near Trondheim. Field course.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: Students will learn theory of stress and deformation of rocks, classification and formation of geological structures, such as faults, folds, foliations, and lineations, and about the formation of geological structures in different tectonic regimes and conditions.
Skills: Students will be able to interpret geological maps and profiles and use stereographic projection to solve structural geologic problems. Students will be able to use digital tools such as compass, stereonet, GPS (FieldMove Clino) to collect and interpret data.
