Description	This module covers the key aspects of structural and applied geology in order to equip students to employ important geological theory and understand how this theory links to advanced and applied settings. Topics include structural geology concepts of stress and strain rooted in engineering principles and relevant to geological processes including kinematics. Geophysics and geophysical application that link subsurface structures to applied settings and the relevant techniques that are employed.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Build on elementary structural geology to link fundamental theory to applied and practical settings and interpret a range of key geophysical data sets and applications Examine structural evolution and tectonic history
