Abstract

An online resource that is essentially a series of 16 video clips featuring undergraduates demonstrating their field work skills at different field exposures. Examples of field work skills demonstrated include locating geological features in the field using traditional navigation skills; using compass-clinometers to measure dip and strike; recording observed geological structures as field sketches; visualising the 3D structure of ‘hidden’ geology; constructing graphic logs for exposures of sedimentary rocks and producing rock descriptions of field exposures. Geological fieldwork resources are included in Fieldwork Skills to help students develop skills in keeping a systematic record of activities carried out in the field. Resources include information sheets that can be printed off as field recording sheets or to be used as aide-memoires. There are also links to virtual fieldwork sites and to sites where there are self-study packages on fieldwork safety, information about field sketching and details of sampling techniques that may be used in fieldwork.
