(in Polish) Kartowanie geologiczne 1300-OKRTG-GEP
The aim of lecture is to acquaint students with basics of geological mapping, especially with methodology of detailed geological survey. It presents different methods of positioning and documentation of geological phenomena, and presentation results of geological survey as geological maps and cross-sections. Methods of classical, superficial mapping are presented in detail, whilst subsurface mapping is presented in brief. Basics of geological interpretation of aerial and satellite imagery, RADAR images, and DEMs are presented too.
Exercises are dedicated to fluent reading of geological maps, and drawing of geological cross sections, from simple structures to most complex nappe-thrust structures. Exercises need some carefulness and graphical accuracy, so often are finished as homework.
Exercises are passed as average grade from student’s works and result of final test from lecture.
