Geology lab samples for Sedimentary Rocks and Processes: Origin, identification, classification and interpretation of sediments, siliciclastic, carbonate and evaporite rocks. Study of sediment/rock components (minerals), fossils and textures in hand sample and thin section; sedimentary structures and processes; introduction to depositional environments; burial, lithification and diagenesis; applications, including introduction to basin analysis/tectonics, exploration for water and petroleum resources, etc.

Geologist guide to consumer technology
If you want to be a good Geologist, you will spend most of your time outdoors. Even if you work for a good company, Geology it itself is a hand-on science(exception to geochemistry, CAD modeling, analytical geology, etc). I was introduced to field geology this year through the University of Calgary Field School program (GLGY 337). I learned a lot of geological field techniques along with what “tech equipments” Continue reading Geologist guide to consumer technology

Core of Geoscience
As a second year Geology Undergraduate I am in the middle of my journey towards becoming a professional in the field of Geoscience. One of the things a student in geology compared to a student in another scientific field would notice is that after elementary geology classes, the Geoscience spread in to a wide range of different academic disciplines. Geology program covers, material science, engineering/physics, chemistry, actuarial science and even art. Other than engineering, the geological applications of these subjects are the most practical use of these fields. For example, geochemistry has more practical real world applications than general chemistry or there are more jobs for geophysics majors than physics majors. Continue reading Core of Geoscience
