| 1 | COURSE OBJECTIVE: To impart the knowledge about fundamental and applied aspects of the subject among the students so that they can better understand the subject and be able to apply it on the ground. Study of rocks from different stratigraphic horizons. Exercises on stratigraphic classification and correlation. Exercises on interpretation of seismic records. Study of paleogeographic maps of different geological periods. Megascopic and microscopic study of the following rocks types: - Igneous rocks: acidic, intermediate, basic, ultrabasic and alkaline rocks. Metamorphic rocks: slate, phyllite, quartzite, marble, schist, gneiss, amphibolite, eclogite, migmatite, granulite and charnockite. Graphic construction and interpretation of variation diagrams. Study of primary, secondary and biogenic sedimentary structures in hand specimens, in photographic atlases, field photographs and wherever possible on the outcrops. Analysis and interpretation of depositional sedimentary environments using actual case histories from the Indian stratigraphic records. Megascopic and microscopic study of clastic and chemical sedimentary rock. Detailed study of diagenetic features in thin sections. Microscopic study of heavy minerals. Exercises on mineralogical and geochemical data plots for environmental interpretations. Interpretation of different sedimentological characteristics from size data. Roundness and sphericity analysis. Paleo- current data interpretation. Geomorphological analysis from maps and toposheets evaluation. COURSE OUTCOME (CO): Students will gain the practical knowledge about the subject and will be able to apply it in the field in geo-scientific projects professionally. |
