Last month Geo Logica run the course “From Satellite to Field: Application of recent technologies in structural geological mapping” in partnership Associação Portuguesa de Geólogos.

The main objective was to learn about a methodology that uses modern technologies (GIS freeware and geological mobile apps) together with satellite imagery to carry out detailed structural geology mapping in the field.

This three day training course included two days of in-class lectures and data compilation to use in the field, and one day ground checking previously compiled data and collecting new field data with GPS mobile apps.

The lectures were held in the Geological Museum of the National Energy and Geology Laboratory (LNEG) and field work took place between Palmela and Serra de São Luis (Portugal).

Geo Logica would like thanks APG for organising this training course, as well as the participants for attending and contributing for a successful course, and LNEG for hosting the event in the always mesmerising Museu Geológico de Portugal.
