Course details
Course OverviewThis course provides participants with an understanding of rock deformation processes that is appropriate for planning exploration strategies and for developing better interpretations of existing data. It differs from other courses that are primarily descriptive by relating structural geology to a practical approach to Geomechanics. The course emphasizes the role of structural geology in controlling fluid flows in the subsurface.
