CGE3261 Geological Mapping and Interpretation

in the process of managing the Geological Mapping and interpretation course. The Guidance Process is also comprehensively displayed which, although the steps are incomplete, are expected to provide inspiration for the Supervising Lecturer, so that they are able to further develop the stages of the Geological Mapping process. On the other hand, the guidance process is also followed by the weight of the assessment based on the burden that must be done by the student participants of this course (Geological Mapping and interpretation). Thus, in order to achieve the expected level of accuracy closer to the actual state of the mapped geological conditions, the guidance and assessment process is not at the end in the form of a Geological Map product but more emphasized on the guidance process. This document will be updated periodically based on the results of evaluating its strengths and weaknesses

The topics covered include basic Geological Mapping techniques and field mapping, map types and contouring techniques, Nature and identification of rock boundaries and contacts, Geological maps for horizontal and dipping beds, Construction of subsurface Geological cross-sections and petroleum related interpretation, Construction of subsurface Geological cross-sections and petroleum related interpretation, Thickness maps, structural contour maps and petroleum related structures and interpretation, Facies maps as a tool to describe the changes of subsurface facies

 Learning Outcomes

ü  Separate landscape groups from topographic maps / aerial photographs / satellite imagery / DEM

ü  Make River Flow patterns from topographic maps / satellite images / aerial photographs / DEM

ü  Recognize the shape of the valley / ridge / contour density from topographic maps / aerial photographs / satellite imagery / DEM

ü  Describe and analyze river flow patterns and landscape groups for the Interpretation of Geological Conditions in order to support the process of Geological Mapping (alleged lithology, structure, direction of the track etc.)

ü  Identify the elements of geological structure in the field (burly, rock layers, faults etc.)

ü  Display structural elements data into a skeleton map (stereo nets, rosette diagrams etc.)

ü  Identify the type and direction of burly in the mapping area in each unit of rock

ü  Make a map of rock layering patterns

ü  Identify and classify the types of folds that exist in the mapping area

ü  Identify faults in the mapping area
