Advanced Structural Analysis with Application to Mineral Deposit Exploration

3 credits

Theoretical and practical analysis/interpretation of rock structures as a guide to mineral exploration. This course will be largely assignment-based with assignments/projects involving map analysis of structures complemented by sterographic analysis and cross-section construction in an effort to determine the structural controls of mineral deposits in a variety of settings. ***Prerequisite: ESC 453 and permission of Instructor and Department Head.*** *Note: Students may receive credit for one of ESC 495AD or GEOL 495AD.*
