Entry-level modules
- Orientation measurement of planes and lines in the field (strike/dip/dip direction; plunge/plunge direction)
- Basic mapping procedures. The importance of mapping contacts and form lines versus transect or point data collection.
- Scale considerations. Keeping an eye on the big picture.
- Interpretation maps vs 'fact' maps - the importance of continuous interpretation during mapping.
- Basic map and cross-section preparation. (Note that the terrane-specific modules include cross-section techniques appropriate to specific situations)
- Obtaining structural data from maps using topographic effects.
