Abilities: 

Levels

Description and operational verbs

Know

Basics of Geology - Geological processes - Rock formation and evolution - Vocabulary of geosciences

understand

Rock cycle and main petrogenetic processes (sedimentation, magmatism)

Apply

Describe the rock mineralogy, petrography, textures, structures. identify the rock origin and formation, its structural evolution. Identify mineral and natural ressources.

Analyse 

Be able to precisely describe and identify a rock. From this identification, be able to deduce petrophysical properties and geochemistry.

Summarise

Be able to observe and identify the rocks at various scales: from the field observations to the geotechnical and civil engineering uses.

Assess

From a rock identification, be able to propose expertise of the use, qualification, exploitation of such a natural material in civil and geotechnical engineering.
