Procedures in field geology / Процедуры в полевой геологии

My purpose in writing this manual is to provide a pocket-size presentation of field procedures without the bulk and cost of a comprehensive textbook.

he first part, Tools of the Trade, covers the Brunton compass and Jacob's staff, the Silva compass, and the plane table and alidade-along with principles of map direction and strike and dip. 

Also, I have included a section on uses of the stereographic net for those who lack hardware and software necessary for the manipulation of field measurements.

A second part, Things to Do, presents a variety of procedures commonly undertaken in geologic field courses.

The third part, Reference Stuff, provides basic information on topographic maps, trigonometric solutions, and conventional map patterns and symbols.

Field procedures described herein are those that have emerged through years of teaching at our University of Missouri's Camp E.B. Branson in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming. I welcome suggestions for the inclusion of additional procedures in future editions <...>
