The course is addressed to undergraduate students who sufficiently know and understand the principles of Structural Geology and Petrography. The aim of the course is for students to acquire advanced knowledges and skills on the geological mapping.

By the end of this course the student will be able to:

• Know and understand the methods of geological mapping
• Know and understand the methods of data collection in the field
• Carry out geological mapping in areas of medium difficulty
• Analyze and describe the orientation of structural elements appeared in the geological map which she/he produced
• Compose geological cross-sections using data from the geological map which she/he produced
• Compose the tectonostratigraphy of the area appeared the geological map which she/he produced
• Prepare a professional report for the geological map which she/he produced

Generally, by the end of this course the student will, furthermore, have develop the following general abilities (from the list above):

• Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology
• Adapting to new situations
• Working independently
• Team work
• Respect for the natural environment
• Production of free, creative and inductive thinking

The course content includes the following chapters:
