GEO001 -Basic Structural Geology and Structural Styles

Description:

Structural Geology aims to characterise deformation structures (geometry), to characterize flow paths followed by particles during deformation (kinematics), and to infer the direction and magnitude of the forces involved in driving deformation (dynamics). A field-based discipline, structural geology operates at scales ranging from 100 microns to 100 meters (i.e. grain to outcrop).

Tectonics aims at unraveling the geological context in which deformation occurs. It involves the integration of structural geology data in maps, cross-sections and 3D block diagrams, as well as data from other Geoscience disciplines including sedimentology, petrology, geochronology, geochemistry and geophysics. Tectonics operates at scales ranging from 100 m to 1000 km, and focusses on processes such as continental rifting and basins formation, subduction, collisional processes and mountain building processes etc.!

Who Should Attend:

Being a Geologist can be an interesting and rewarding career option. To become a Geologist, one must have good communicational skills, critical-thinking skills, outdoor skills, problem-solving skills and physical stamina. Apart from this, for becoming a Geologist, one also needs to fulfill minimum academic requirements that are mentioned below:
