The research projects are to be presented in written and oral formats. Critical review of the projects is a fundamental part of the course. Three lectures and one 2-hour lab. Provides instruction in the basic techniques of geologic field methods and geologic mapping, as well as in the use of basic mapping instruments. Includes aerial photo interpretation of geologic structures.
Students produce geologic maps, cross sections, and reports.
Two lectures plus one day in the field. Emphasizes interpretation of conventional aerial photographs and satellite images. Uses computer processing of image data in the visible and infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum to illustrate the application of such data to the solution of a variety of geologic problems. CS 115 is strongly recommended. This material is from the 2000-2001 Southern Oregon University Catalog .
