Hi All,


I would like to first and foremost just say thank you to everyone here for sharing all this wonderful teaching material. Im currently preparing for a course that im teaching for the first time this May in introduction to sedimentology for second semester bachelor students. I was wondering if anyone here has and would be so kind as to share some simple logs and/or accomapnying virtual outcrops that would be good to use in excersies to teach first-year students about making simple observtions on lithology, sedimentary structures, facies analysis etc...?


I've had a hard time finding logs that would be suitable at a first year bachelor level and I would appreciate any help that I can receive.


Cheers,

Björn

Hallo my dear friends

here you may find a video tutorial about field work and geological mapping:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpmJWLx933s

It is not 3D virtual but It may help very much as an introduction to geological maps in this time of social distancing. And also as an introduction to Geology for high school, I guess.
In the next days we will prepare a kmz file for Google Earth on which supplemental material will be available. Actually, here in Napoli we are preparing a complete set of field itinerary on Google Earth. When ready, I will send you the link.

I hope my english subtitles are correct (I asked only some help to my former student Alessandro Novellino, now at BGS). If anybody want to provide an audio in English you are welcome!
And if you are interested (in the near future we hope!) to field work for students in sothern Italy, I will be happy to help.

Ciao a tutti from a desert Napoli

Sandro

Hi all,

I am sure I am not the only person on this list coming up with alternative virtual options to replace fieldwork that (had) been planned for the spring this year – we are using our Blackboard at Heriot-Watt to distribute information on our outcrops and get the students to do short assessments to track their progress through the materials. However I wanted to ask if anyone has any resources (aside from photos) like 3D outcrop images, photo-panels, drone footage, or exercises that could be done based on photo interpretation that have already been developed – we could share some resources here!

I am specifically interested in the Wessex Basin outcrops along the Jurassic Coast, but we also run fieldtrips to Tenby, the Moray Firth and the Pyrenees in Spain. We have some larger images and footage of the Spain area, but not yet of the other areas! Anyone else got things we could use to help our students see the outcrops virtually?
