This module is a combination of on-campus workshops followed by a residential field class in which students learn various techniques required to characterise the 3D geological and geomorphological evolution of an area. Training entails mapping of geological and geomorphological features at different scales, training in methods for acquiring a variety of field data, and guidance for synthesising and interpreting field datasets. Training is designed to develop abilities to visualise geology and geomorphology in 3D, and to analyse and synthesise discrete observations to build a full four-dimensional model of the geological history of an area from their own measured data. Such fieldskills and data-handling and data synthesis skills are highly regarded and often sought for by geoscience employers. This module also provides the students with skills required for final year independent field-based research projects. Exercises will encourage increasingly independent work as students’ skills develop. Group work develops students’ ability to work effectively in a team.
