Not compulsory but strongly suggested

A practical test will be performed by the students during the field work and will be based on the field work techniques, on the stratigraphic successions observed in the field and on tectonic structures. Students that will not be able to attend the field work will perform a similar test at Sapienza University. For more info please contact the teacher.
