Approach

Dr Despaigne Diaz offers online tutoring and consulting in Structural Geology techniques, processing and interpretation of structural data, assistance with fieldwork planning, analysis of deformation events, textures and microstructures at macroscale and in thin sections, thesis tutoring and guidance, thesis revision, and consultancy for companies.

 

Examples of tutoring on specific subjects are listed below:

​

• Identification of geological structures formed at different crustal levels (ductile, brittle-ductile and brittle regimes), measurement and interpretation

• Geometric description of structures, kinematic and dynamic analysis

• Deciphering deformation phases affecting specific areas, family of structures belonging to specific deformation phases, classification and chronological order of tectonic events

• Stereographic projection of structures and their interpretation

• Fundamental basis for constructing tectonic models

• Guidance on identification of field structures 

• Kinematic analysis in shear zones

• Identification of mineral deformation textures under the microscope

• Identification of microstructures in the field and thin sections

• Construction of detailed structural cross-sections

• Correlation between macro, meso, and microstructures

• Constructing tectonic models 

• Research methodology techniques

• Assistance in thesis formulation
  If you want to know how to correlate different tectonic events at different scales to construct a tectonic model you have landed on the correct page!
