This course consists of a theoretical part in which the fundamental features of the tectonics and sedimentary geology of the Pyrenees mountain range and its southern foreland basin will be explained. This activity will serve as preparation for the fieldwork, and will contain an introduction to the necessary bibliography as well as the guidelines for the student to complete the learning autonomously. Students will have a part of the bibliographic material (scientific papers), maps and diagrams, and subsoil data, in the virtual campus, to be worked autonomously.

In addition, seminars will be held on aspects such as biostratigraphy and paleontology, or geological resources of economic interest.

Before the field camp, students must autonomously carry out a previous original report, which sets out the geological characteristics of the area to be visited, based on the essential bibliography and the information obtained from the theory classes and seminars, as well as the objectives of the field camp.

The field camp will last 6 days, in which outcrops and structural-sedimentological transects of the southern Pyrenees will be studied at the outcrop scale and at the orogen-basin scale. The fieldwork will include specific tasks that can be evaluated directly in the field (mapping, stratigraphic columns, etc.). It will be necessary to elaborate a field notebook where the observations and work done each day will be represented, which can also be reviewed and evaluated.

The evaluation of the course will be based on several criteria, both referring to fieldwork and to activities to be performed outside the field.

Seminars will be subject to specific tests or assessment work. On the other hand, the previous report will be evaluated prior to departure to the field camp.

During fieldwork, the attitude and interest shown is an important component. In addition, it is also essential to carry out the observations and analyses on a regular basis and with a method, which conforms the field notebook. All this can be evaluated.

During the field camp, specific tasks will be performed that will be delivered and evaluated separately, such as geological maps and corresponding cross-sections, or stratigraphic columns and correlation panels.

After the field camp, the overall results of the work must be presented in a final report or poster that will be evaluated accordingly.

Since the course is based on fieldwork, attendance at the start is mandatory. In case of no attendance, the student will be considered as \"not presented\".

For a student to be evaluated, he must attend all theory sessions and seminars. The absences should be properly justified and documented. The non-delivery of any of the additional documents to fieldwork (previous report, exercises required and report / final poster) implies the failure to pass the course.

Students who have attended fieldwork but have not satisfactorily completed and failed the course, in the following year will have the option to repeat the fieldwork in the same area autonomously, and must deliver the corresponding field exercises, with demonstration of it fieldwork, and the final poster or report. The approval of these exercises will exempt from the repetition of the field camp.

These procedures may vary if the sanitary sate impacts the normal development of the course. In any case, these changes would be notified  in advance.
