Field Geology || Episode 001

This video focuses on Field Geology;
Working in the field contributes a crucial element to our knowledge and understanding of Earth processes. Field studies are the primary means of obtaining geologic knowledge. Without primary field data and geological samples of the highest quality, further, scientific study such as sophisticated isotope measurements or the reconstruction of past life assemblages and habitats is at best without context, and at worst, completely meaningless.
We will cover, note taking and data collecting for general fieldwork. Basic uses of the compass, clinometer, and Brunton compass. Introduces traversing, Procedures for plotting geologic features on base maps and aerial photographs, Sampling and Report writing.
