This intensive field-based course introduces you to map interpretation and geological field mapping. In class, you will learn how to extract geological data from a geological map and how to make a cross-section. You will also be introduced to way-up and fault kinematic indicators. In the field, in small groups, you will map, at a scale of 1:10,000, an area showing lithologic and structural similitudes with Singapore. You will learn how to identify, describe and name lithostratigraphic units, how to position and extrapolate geological contacts, and how to present and interpret the obtained field information in a formal geologic report. Training in the construction and analysis of geological maps is an elemental activity to any geoscientist.
