Structural Geology

The course aims to provide students with the basic concepts of deformation of rocks, and of the mechanisms and causes of deformation; to familiarize students with how to appreciate, describe and record geological structures in the field; to enable students how to evaluate, analyze and interpret structural data and incorporate it into regional synthesis of an area. The course will serve as a complement to the Practical Structural Geology (Geol 2042) and Field Geology and Report Writing (Geol 302) courses as well as a basis for the Tectonics (Geol 404) and Mapping courses (Geol 401, Geol 402 and Geol 503)
