Geologic Mapping C

[InfiniCuber]

We barely finished, but then again most of what we wrote was BS. I'm surprised we even placed in the single digits XD

I was so surprised when I placed 5th, because we walked out of that room thinking we got rekt lol

rekt is the best word to describe it lol

How do you how do you Guys learn the concepts of this event such as calculating strike and dip?
Youtube?? Wiki? Other options??

All those things you mentioned are great resources. You have to know how to google things as well. Look at the rules, and the topics they cover and google them. Look up strike and dip problems, geologic time scale, types of folds, etc, you will find great articles! And the wiki is a great place to start!

What do the rules mean by "bring...an equal-area projection stereonet with tracing paper and pin"?

As far as I can tell, they mean exactly that; I haven't yet competed, but whatever can be used for solving stereonet problems should work.

Tracing paper means basically relatively see through paper that you can write on. A pin means like http://www.eassecuritytags.com/uploads/pic/P02.jpg (I think they are available on staples or somewhere or something). Lastly, there are multiple types of stereonets for multiple purposes. Basically the rules specify to use the equal-area variety. If you google it, you should be able to look around and find something like http://magician.ucsd.edu/essentials/WebBook539x.png. Be careful to not print out some other type, and you should look it up yourself just to check that out (I just got first thing off google, silly me for not directly checking the site!).

Can anyone provide a link or two to some really helpful stereonet projection tutorials?

There are some on the wiki.
