The following exercises guide you in progressive steps through the
analysis and interpretation of geological maps. This is an introductory course that will give you basic, fundamental skills. The course will build upon the work you did in the first few lab classes in GEOL 112 and you should review those lab classes. Some of these exercises will be completed on the Wherewithal Fieldclass. The rest will be completed in laboratory classes. It is a requirement that you write down your answers and sketch your drawings in the booklet provided. This will allow corrections, and will be a useful guide for your reference and future assessments. We will collect these books for assessment from students who achieve marginal marks in the practical examination. We may not necessarily conduct the exercises in numerical order. The exercises will help you to learn techniques that can be applied to any geological map, but they will also introduce you to the regional geology of some areas of the South Island.
