Geological Sciences

A training field camp will be held in the Umbria-Marche Apennines during the first half of June (1 week), where the concepts and know-how acquired with Rilevamento Geologico will find their practical application. The last day of the camp will be devoted to drawing a geological map, with cross-sections, while a week will be allowed for drafting the explanatory notes accompanying the map.

Students should be familiar with the dedicated field techniques and subjects taught in Geological Mapping (essential), Geology 1 & 2, Paleontology, and Petrography classes. The student must have taken part in at least 4 out of 6 one-day field exercises held during the course of Rilevamento Geologico.
