Technical Field Course
This course involved circumnavigating Greece and visiting tunnelling sites (primarily road, rail, and gold mines) throughout the country in limestones, clays, gneiss, molassic rocks, flysch, phyllites, ophiolites, basement schists and fault zones. The tunnels were at various stages of construction and the graduate student work along the way included geological model construction, seismic hazard prediction, ground classification and tunnel design with student presentations in the evenings among other deliverables. The course is planned, organized and conducted in collaboration with the Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering Department at Queen’s University, the National Technical University of Athens and the University of Thessaloniki (Northern Greece).
