Seminar in Data Aquisition and Interpretation

Recommended Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of Geosciences.

Teaching Methods

Workshops, thematic modules and lectures, with subsequent study work on case studies, presented on the form of reports and culminating with a synthesis work.

Learning Outcomes

1. Knowledge and ability to understand the operational steps of data acquisition techniques.
2. Application of knowledge and understanding in the process of data acquisition and practice your organization enhancers formats interpretation

3. Realization of judgment /decision making: promotes the discussion of the effectiveness and range of operational tools and design or, as a preliminary to the decision of research guidelines; Comparative analysis of the contribution of each method.
4. Communication: the information is organized in the form of reports, highlighting the use of standard formulations and specific terminology; articulation of individual components in data collection and interpretation encompassed; presentation of analyzes and interpretations.

5. Skills self-learning: it reinforces self-learning to improve iteratively interpretive scenarios of data; self-criticism of accuracy and value in data acquisition and contributions to the interpretations.
