- Litho and biostratrigraphic recontruction
- Facies analysis
- Structural and fracture analysis
- Processing and interpretation of geophysical data- Prerequisites
- Geophysics: it is strongly recommended to have attended the Applied Geophysics course and possibly to have successfully passed the exam.
Stratigraphy: at least attending the course of Sedimentology (first year, first semester) and Integrated Stratigraphy (first year, second semester). - Teaching methods
- introductory theoretical-practical lesson in the classroom; Students will be provided with preparatory material, guides, programs and dedicated presentations.
- practical acquisition of stratigraphic, structural and geophysical data in the countryside
- working groups and creation of technical reports in the field- Other information
