The course is conducted entirely in the field, within an environment analogous to Martian settings. The first part focuses on the description, analysis, and interpretation of geological outcrops. Students will then digitally map the geology of the investigated areas using tablets, providing descriptions and interpretations of the depositional environments and sedimentary units present in the study area.
In the 2025/2026 academic year, the fieldwork will take place in the Ebro Basin, Spain, between Alcañiz and Caspe. The fluvial deposits of the southwestern margin of the basin will be investigated, which are predominantly exposed as exhumed channels. The fieldwork will last six days.
