  6. Pre-trip Lab Photo-interp Struct contours Drivesfield

  7. Arrive in field with hypotheses to test Location of boundary Thicknesses of units TASK Define strat and mappable units Through fieldwork And then compare with “previous work”...

  8. After building their own strat... Compare with published version on the web-site (also with memoir text)

  9. AIMS • Build cross-section • Test Murchison • Add struct data one-day transect to the “Stack of Glencoul” Web-site? • Show ideal results • Structure tutorial

  10. Simplified cross-section

  11. Interpreted views Useful “if” the weather is poor

  12. Structural “tutorial” Reinforces lessons from the field….

  13. “Raw” field slip Un-inked ADD ANNOTATION Not from their mapping area !

  14. “Raw” field slip Un-inked Also show inking-in….

  15. Inked-in field slip ADD ANNOTATION

  16. Inked-in field slip And provide larger scenes to scroll over

  17. Outcomes http://earth.leeds.ac.uk/assynttrip More support for students BUT ARE THEYBETTER MAPPERS ? Staff effort better directed I didn’t lose any field slips! Site used unofficially by other departments Leicester FEeT workshop
