modules

In studying Structural Geology and Tectonics you will gain an understanding of why rocks deform and skills in the acquisition and interpretation of structural geological data. All rock masses contain geological structures and they are an important control on resource and engineering geology as well as providing an insight into regional tectonic evolution. The module is compulsory for students on the geology degree programmes and possible for others who have completed modules CSM1030 , CSM1034 and CSM1036 . Teaching comprises a mixture of lectures and practical classes plus skills-orientated field classes based upon the Upper Palaeozoic tectonic evolution of south Cornwall.
