Description
Understanding Earth processes and environments over geological time relies heavily on hands-on fieldwork experience and reliable data collection. This comprehensive textbook explains key data gathering techniques used by geologists, with an emphasis on effective field observations and record-keeping.
The book covers essential skills such as using a compass-clinometer, creating geological maps, and drawing field sketches, as well as providing practical guides, checklists, flow charts, and worked examples. It also features over 200 illustrations of various field notes, maps, and geological features, along with appendices containing commonly used rock description and classification diagrams.
Designed for students, amateur enthusiasts, and professionals with a background in geology, this textbook is an invaluable resource for collecting field data on rocks and geological features. The robust and handy size makes it easy to use in the field, while the colour-coded chapters provide quick reference and ease of use.
