CODE 80248 ACADEMIC YEAR 2023/2024 CREDITS 10 cfu anno 3 SCIENZE GEOLOGICHE 8763 (L-34) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR GEO/03 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA MODULES Questo insegnamento è composto da: INTRODUCTION TO GEOLOGICAL MAPS FIELD GEOLOGY 1 TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW This course is divided in two modules: one focused on field mapping and the second one is an introduction to the interpretation of geological maps. The “Geological Mapping 1” concerns the basic methods and techniques for the collection of geological data in the field (i.e.; lithology, stratigraphy, structures, etc.) and their representation on a geological map. The “Introduction to Geological Maps” deals with the reading and interpretation of geological maps and the representation of three-dimensional geological structures on a geological cross-section. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims to introduce students to the basics of Geological Mapping and Geological Maps interpretation. Students will be trained to the preparation and interpretation of geological maps, as well as to the construction of geologic cross-sections. The course includes exercises in the lab and in the fields. PREREQUISITES In order to be able to deal with the contents of this course, basic knowledge of the reading of topographic maps, geomorphology and petrography (classification of rocks), stratigraphy, structural geology are necessary TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD FRANCO ELTER Ricevimento: agree directly with the teacher MICHELE LOCATELLI LAURA CRISPINI Ricevimento: Contact Prof. Laura Crispini via e-mail (laura.crispini@unige.it) to arrange an appointment.
