ABOUT THE COURSE:Understanding the deformation of Earth's crust is the key to unravel geological history and predicting subsurface structures. Identification and analyses of these structures are crucial for both qualitative and quantitative assessment of the deformed crust. This 12-week online course is designed to equip B.Sc. and M.Sc. students of Earth System Sciences and related disciplines with essential skills in structural geology through a hands-on, application-based approach. From measuring structural features to stereographic projections, fault and fold analysis, contour mapping, and geological map interpretation, this course provides a step-by-step guide to master the fundamental techniques used in geological fieldwork and fundamental research. Through interactive exercises, real-world case studies, and visualization techniques, students will develop the analytical skills needed to solve complex structural geology problems. Whether you're an aspiring geologist, geophysicist, mining geologist or geo-engineer, this course will enhance your ability to interpret geological structures with confidence. This course will also enhance the ability of industry personnel from mineral exploration, oil, gas and hydrocarbon industries. All the topics will be introduced with a minimum of mathematical complexity unless they are essential to the understanding of physical principles. This course of ~12 weeks will primarily focus on the basics and introductory level understanding of the methods and their application. However, interactive exercises will be also demonstrated for the advanced level understanding of the practical methods.
