Fieldwork organization: Prof. Porreca M., Prof.ssa Spina A., Prof. Ercoli M.
Learning verification modality
Geophysics: Technical report on the acquisition, processing and interpretation of the acquired data.
Stratigraphy: Fieldtrip guidebook focused on the caracterization of the lithostratigraphic units; stratigraphic log.
Extended program
Geophysics: Introduction to fundamental concepts, planning a geophysical campaign: identification of the target, equipment and configuration, selection of stations interval and parameters, identification of noise sources, field data analysis and interpretation, creation of technical geophysical report.
Stratigraphy: Introduction to fundamental concept; planning a sedimentological and stratigraphic field; facies analysis; determination of the sedimentologic and stratigraphic units and their boundaries; depositional enviroment interpretation; technical report.
