When I was in first semester, at the end of semester I have physical geology and Mineralogy, Crystalography Fieldtrip. The purpose of this fieldtrip is using the knowledge that we learn in class and laboratory to be aplied in field. There we practice using geological tools like compass, rock hammer, and loupe, and we also practice how to write fieldnote correctly and well.
The first we did when we arrived in stopside, we should plot the location we were in our map. To decide the position we could use GPS or by field orientation. After that we could observe what's going on the field with the objects are geomorphology, litology (petrology), geological structure, and engineering geology where were there
In this fieldtrip we have some stopside.
First Stopside (1st station) : Kali Progo (Progo River), in Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta
