Re: Geologic Mapping C [Trial]
My major in college is geology but I am in CA so would not be doing this even any wayJim_R wrote:Discussion for Geologic Mapping C for NY.
A link to the rules would be beneficial for all.

Re: Geologic Mapping C [Trial]
Haha, I'm also majoring in geology! But this event nearly steered me away from it...at least structural, that is. But really, looking back at Geologic Mapping, I really overestimated it. It's not as hard as everyone said it was [including me] and once you get the hang of the stereonet problems, they're quite simple.sciencegeek100 wrote:My major in college is geology but I am in CA so would not be doing this even any wayJim_R wrote:Discussion for Geologic Mapping C for NY.

Re: Geologic Mapping C [Trial]
Structural Geology really isn't that bad. From what I've seen, this event is actually a lot more involved than a real college Structural class. Most of the Structural labs I did involved doing stereonets, so you already have experience with one of the more difficult things in the class. I got an A in Structural, it wasn't so bad.quizbowl wrote:Haha, I'm also majoring in geology! But this event nearly steered me away from it...at least structural, that is.

Also, it's nice to see more geology majors, there are like 30 of us total at my school >.>
