SIG3005 GEOLOGY RESEARCH PROJECT SIG3007 GEOLOGY SOUTH-EAST ASIA
Some 4 weeks of fieldwork in a specified area followed by Systematic learning of SE Asian regional geology,
laboratory studies and submission of a Report containing a distribution of geological resources, tectonic history through
geological map and cross-section as well as relevant geological time, and the formation of today’s SE Asia.
