Overview
This unit combines structural geology and sedimentology through recognising, interpreting, and classifying major geological structures and sedimentary rocks. You will discuss the implications of rock structures for engineering and mining operations. You will also interpret geological field sections and maps and describe the sedimentology of terrestrial, coastal, deep and shallow marine environments. This unit will develop your software skills in Queensland Globe and CoalLog, or equivalent. You must complete compulsory practical activities. Refer to the Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle site for proposed dates and locations.
