FIELD GEOLOGY AND THEMATIC MAPS
(objectives)
TO PROVIDE PRINCIPAL METHODS FOR THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, MAINLY THROUGH FIELD WORK AND LAB ACTIVITIES. TO DEVELOP THE 3D VISION OF THE ROCK BODIES AND GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURES, STARTING FROM THE OUTCROPS, THROUGH MULTIDISCIPLINARY ACTIVITIES BOTH IN THE FIELD AND IN LABS, ON GEOLOGICAL PROBLEMS WITH MEDIUM-HIGH DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY.

COSENTINO DOMENICO
(syllabus)
TO ADDRESS SOME BASIC NOTIONS RELATIVE TO THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY AND MAPPING. THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY AS A TOOL FOR RECONSTRUCTING 3D GEOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL MODEL OF THE SUBSURFACE THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF BOTH SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE GEOLOGICAL DATA, BOREHOLES INFORMATION AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF BOTH ROCK AND INCOHERENT MATERIALS. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ROCKS AND INCOHERENT MATERIALS; SUBSURFACE GEOLOGY, CONSOLIDATED AND UNCONSOLIDATED PLIO-QUATERNARY COVERS OF THE MAIN REGIONS OF CENTRAL ITALY; GEOMETRICAL AND TECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MAIN DISCONTINUITIES AFFECTING ROCKS TO DEFINE THE QUALITY OF ROCK MASSES. THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY FOR SEISMIC MICROZONATION PURPOSES. THE PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS COURSE WILL BE DONE IN FIELD TRIPS LEADED IN DIFFERENT GEOLOGICAL SETTINGS FOR WORKING ON KEY AREAS OF THE CENTRAL APENNINES TO EXPERIENCE THE MAIN ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY AND MAPPING: TO ANALYSE THE BEDROCK AND THE INCOHERENT QUATERNARY COVERS; TO CHARACTERIZE GEOMETRY AND TECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF ALL THE DISCONTINUITIES AFFECTING ROCK MASSES; TO COLLECT SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE DATA, PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ROCKS AND INCOHERENT PLIO-QUATERNARY COVERS FOR RECONSTRUCTING THE PHYSICAL AND GEOLOGICAL MODEL OF THE SUBSURFACE. EACH FIELD TRIP WILL BE PREPARED IN CLASSROOM, LOOKING AT BOTH THE MORPHOLOGICAL AND THE GEOLOGICAL SETTING OF THE AREA. SUBSEQUENTLY, ONE DAY OF FIELD TRIP ALLOW STUDENTS TO COLLECT GEOLOGICAL DATA FROM THE KEY AREA. LATER ON, DATA COLLECTED WILL BE ANALYSED AND PROCESSED IN THE LAB. LAB ACTIVITIES WILL BRING STUDENTS TO PROVIDE THE GEOLOGICAL MAP OF THE SURVEYED AREA, TOGETHER WITH SOME THEMATIC MAPS, INCLUDING MAP KEY AND GEOLOGICAL CROSS-SECTIONS. FOR EACH FIELD TRIP, STUDENTS WILL PROVIDE, ALSO, A REPORT ON THE MAIN RESULTS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. THE PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS COURSE WILL CONCLUDE IN A FIELD SCHOOL FINALIZED TO PRODUCE THEMATIC MAPS AND RECONSTRUCT THE GEOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL MODEL OF THE AREA IN REGION OF MEDIUM-HIGH DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY.
