Workshop on " Geological Field and Mapping Techniques "17th to 21th May, 2017
Geological field techniques, data collection and data interpretation are integral parts of geology. Geology can never be properly interpreted without exclusive field observations including understanding of stratigraphy, petrology and structural geology. This workshop has been organized to get out the participants in the field to observe all geologic features at their natural scale, natural context and the initial incredible amount of information that can be obtained in natural state. It also em
