1. General information

1.1. Aims of the course

The expected results of the course respond to the following general aims

The general goals of the subject are brought up at three levels:

(a) Learning of conceptual and methodological aspects through theoretical and practical classes (deductive learning)

(b) Practical use of techniques for analytical treatment and plotting of structural data.

(c) Development of research capabilities using empiric methodologies, from field-data collection to final interpretation.

General goals:

The student should:

1) know the different types of tectonic structures: definitions, classifications; as well as geometric, kinematic, and dynamic characteristics at different scales.

2) develop observation abilities and collect field data.

3) learn the main techniques to represent and analyze tectonic structures.

4) know how to apply the concepts and models of Structural Geology to regional scale interpretations.

5) be able to work alone and in a group.

6) learn to be critical with scientific information, and be able to express clearly his/her scientific results.

1.2. Context and importance of this course in the degree

Structural Geology is a fundamental tool to decipher the geology of deformed areas and thus it should be considered an indispensable knowledge for any geologist. On the other hand, Structural Geology deals with geometrical aspects of deformation and thus it is closely related with disciplines like Geological Mapping, Geophysics and Tectonics.

 

1.3. Recommendations to take this course

This branch of the Geology requires the development of a 3-D visualization of the tectonic structures, as well as observation and interpretation abilities both in the lab and in the field. This course in Structural Geology values the comprehension and the reasoning capabilities as much as the rote learning.

2.2. Learning goals

The student, in order to pass the course, will have to show her/his competence in the following skills:

Identify the main type of tectonic structures as well as to know their geometric characteristics and genetic mechanisms

Construct geologic maps as well as schemes showing the geometry and relationship of the structures in the field

Measure the attitude of planes and lines using the geologic compass

Find and read scientific articles as well as select and understand the most relevant information

Work alone and in a group, as well as to defend scientific results with reasonable arguments

2.3. Importance of learning goals

Geologic structures provide part of the basis for recognizing and reconstructing the profound changes that have marked the physical evolution of the Earth's outer layers, as observed from the scale of the plates down to the scale of the microscopic.

Understanding the nature and extensiveness of deformational structures in the Earth's crust has both scientific value and practical benefit. But, there is a philosophical value as well. Our perceptions of who we are and where we are in time and space are shaped by facts and interpretations regarding the historical development of the crust of the planet on which we live. Knowing fully the extent to which our planet is dynamic, not static, is a reminder of the lively and special environment we inhabit ....... Once the conceptual framework within which structural geologists operate is grasped, the Earth begins to look different. In fact, natural physical processes and natural physical phenomena, whether geologic or not, never quite look the same again (from Davis and Reynolds, 1996).

3. Assessment (1st and 2nd call)

3.1. Assessment tasks (description of tasks, marking system and assessment criteria)

The student will prove that he/she has achieved the expected learning results by means of the following assessment tasks:

ASSESSMENT OF STUDENTS THAT ATTEND CLASS REGULARLY

To track the improvement and knowledge of the students, part of the assessment will be carried out during the learning process (continuous assessment) and part at the end of the course (final assessment)

  1. Continuous assessment

1) Question papers/questions for oral answer. The students will have to answer to question papers or questions for oral answer, alone or in groups, dealing with conceptual and methodological aspects. This activity will be mainly related with the seminar exercises.

2) Laboratory exercises.  The practical exercises carried out in the lab will be corrected every week.

3) Field work. The attendance to the field trips is compulsory. The personal work, expressed in the student's note-book, and the attitude of the student in the field, will be evaluated.

2. Final assessment

4) Written exercises. A theoretical-practical exercise and a practical exercise will be carried out during the period of exams (4-5 hours). The theoretical-practical exercise will be constituted by two parts: a) a test and/or a set of short questions, and b) questions that, in most cases, may be answered by means of drawings. The practical exercise will be closely related with the practical sessions of the course.

ASSESSMENT OF STUDENTS THAT DO NOT ATTEND CLASS REGULARLY

Global assessment

Those students that have not attended the course regularly, as well as those who wish to, may take a global exam. It may be an oral (speaking) exam or a written exam. The evaluation may include any activity related to fieldwork.

1) oral exam or a written exam. Duration of the exam: 3-5 hours.

2) a practical exam where the student will have to solve laboratory and field exercises similar to those carried out during the course. Duration of the exam: 3-5 hours.

Assessment criteria

As a general rule, to pass the course it will be necessary to:

1.- Participate in the laboratory and seminar activities and attend the field trips.

2.- Obtain a grade higher than 5 in the theoretical-practical exam.

3.- Obtain a grade higher than 5 in the practical exam.

4. Methodology, learning tasks, syllabus and resources

4.1. Methodological overview

The methodology followed in this course is oriented towards the achievement of the learning objectives. A wide range of teaching and learning tasks are implemented, such as theory and practice sessions, seminars, laboratory sessions, field work and tutorials.

The program of the course is just the framework that should guide the active learning of the students. The students will have class-notes given by the professor as the basis for their learning, but they must extend the information given in class using that coming from technical books and scientific journals. The practical learning will prevail over the theoretical one. The laboratory sessions will be mainly devoted to the analysis of the most common tectonic structures. The fieldwork will focus on the recognition of the studied structures, the determination of their geometries, structural relationships, ages, and the obtained data will be represented on the student's note-book by means of tectonic schemes, cross-sections, etc, and by simple geological maps. It is important to note that the specific terminology used in this course will also be taught in Spanish.

 

4.2. Learning tasks

This course is organized as follows:

Theory and practice sessions (3 ECTS: 30 hours) 3 weekly hours.

Seminars (0,5 ECTS: 5 hours) Oral presentations and discussions. Conceptual, descriptive and genetic aspects of tectonic structures. The most common geometric, kinematic and dynamic methods.

Laboratory sessions (2,5 ECTS: 25 hours). 2.5 weekly hours, 10 sessions in total. How to analyze meso and micro-scale structures. Reconstructing and analyzing the geometry, kinematic and dynamic of tectonic structures.
