Course Objective

The main objective of this course is to identify and analyze different tectonic environments and to carry out project design and analysis studies for the solution of geological problems. In this context, students will develop regional 3D geological modeling and make practical approaches.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Budget and schedule tectonic environment projects
2   Makes / obtains / examines regional geological map of tectonic environments and evaluates the geological characteristics of the region
3   Makes/acquires and evaluates tectonic structures and drilling data in the region
4   Determines the geometric properties and distribution of tectonic structures in the region
5   Defines and evaluates tectonic structures
6   Obtains and evaluates age and structural data
7   Analyzes and evaluates kinematic analysis, geophysics and absolute age data
8   Correlates data, prepares and reports a structural model of the region

Mode of Delivery

Face -to- Face

Assessment Criteria

The main criterion for the evaluation of the work done within the scope of the course (LO-) is that the student can do the applications and exams on these subjects without help.
The applications to be made within the scope of the course are compulsory (LO-)
The main criterion for the evaluation of the Project Report to be prepared is the originality of the work done in the report presented by the student (not directly taken from other reports and / or studies, being the work done by the student himself/herself) and not containing basic geological errors (LO-).
The prepared Project Report should be prepared in accordance with the report writing rules found at http://jeoloji.deu.edu.tr/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/deu_rapor_yaz_kurallar.pdf and http://jeoloji.deu.edu.tr/pdf/Saha_Jeolojisi_Rapor_Yazim_Kilavuzu.pdf links (LO-).

Language of Instruction
