Module Description

Field sampling and laboratory analysis of natural samples are in important part of a geochemists' toolkit. This module will introduce the skills necessary for planning and executing a successful field campaign, developing best practice field skills in documenting the geological and environmental controls on a geochemical problem, and how to select and take samples. These will be analysed using the laboratory facilities available in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences and a scientific report will be written based on the methods used and results generated. The costs associated with this module are partially supported by the School.
