Learn to identify sedimentary structures, measure and describe stratigraphy, interpret physical and environmental conditions in rock deposits, and develop foundational skills in geologic mapping and cross-section construction. Perform fieldwork including the use of UAV, LiDAR, and remote sensing data to enhance mapping and interpretation. Explore the geologic history and tectonic evolution of the Rocky Mountains and collect field and structural data to develop geologic maps, cross sections, and other geological products, interpreting the formation of folds, faults, rock fabrics, and associated features. Gain an understanding of crustal tectonics and the landform evolution of the region. Three lecture hours a week for two semesters.
