5 Front of Web-site content location historical 3D viz (struct contours) Examples (field slips) CLICK FOR HINTS AND SOLUTIONS

6

7 Photo-interp Pre-trip Lab Struct contours Drives field

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

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

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

11 Simplified cross-section

12 Interpreted views Useful if the weather is poor

13 Structural tutorial Reinforces lessons from the field….

14 Raw field slip Un-inked ADD ANNOTATION Not from their mapping area !

15 Raw field slip Un-inked Also show inking-in….

16 Inked-in field slip ADD ANNOTATION

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

18 Outcomes http://earth.leeds.ac.uk/assynttrip Leicester FEeT workshop More support for students Staff effort better directed I didnt lose any field slips! Site used unofficially by other departments BUT ARE THEY BETTER MAPPERS ?
