This unit focuses on the most fundamental skills of a geologist in being able to describe and interpret geological relationships at outcrop scale. It builds skills in recording and summarising observations, descriptions and interpretations made in the field, and synthesising results to produce diagrammatic and written summaries of an area. The unit comprises laboratory work prior to the field trip to develop skills that need to be applied on the field trip as well as a seven-day field trip to undertake geological mapping (north of Perth). Field work emphasises teamwork and workplace safety. -- Course Website
