Teaching Honours courses

Geology from Geophysics (MTEC course): This one week course is taught under the umbrella of the nation wide Minerals Tertiary Education Council (MTEC). The course is taught in collaboration with Dr Peter Betts. The course is designed to introduce geologists and geophysicists to commonly used geophysical software, including Oasis Montaj, ERmapper, GM-SYS, and to develop strategies to interpret geophysical data with geological eyes. The course is set out as a mini-project in which the end product is a geological interpretation of a regional geophysical dataset.

Advanced Field Structural Geology, in Bermagui, NSW. This is a one week long course where students are taught to map out the structures and complex geometries within a series of multiply-deformed turbite sequence.  The course teaches the concepts of key locality and provides strategies to correlate between key localities to produce consistent maps and cross-sections over outcrops at Bermagui Heads and Pt Dickinson in Bermagui.

GIS for Geologists – an introduction. This is a one week long course during which students are taught basic principle of GIS mapping including projections, datum, coordinates, image registration, GIS interpretation and mapping, etc.  The students use this course to produce a presentation about the geology of SE Australia, combining results from each Honours course and to be presented to the School.
