Catalogo dei Corsi di studio

Educational goals: The course will teach to the students the basics of field mapping.

Learning ouctomes: The student will learn how to use the geological compass, to recognize the most common rocks and to map them.

Programme

Learning of fundamentals of geological mapping in the field. 40 hours

Adopted texts

Bosellini A., Mutti E., Ricci Lucchi F. -Rocce e successioni sedimentarie. (1995) ed. utet.
Tucker M. –Sedimentary Petrology: an introduction. ( 1981)Blakwells
Nichols G. Sedimentology and Stratigraphy (1999) Wiley-Blacwell

Prerequisites

Knowledge acquired in GEOLOGIA I MODULO I. From Geografia fisica con elementi di Cartografia e GIS: reading of topographic maps and basics of use of GIS.

Exam modes

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 Prof. Sabina Bigi (Sabina.bigi@uniroma1.it)
