Fundamentals of Geology

Whether you're a student, early-career researcher, or curious learner, this 1-on-1 session offers a focused, expert-guided walkthrough of the core principles that underpin Earth sciences. With a research background in sedimentary geochemistry and field geology, I bring both academic depth and practical insight to every session.

What We Can Cover

In 30 minutes, we can explore any of the following based on your needs:

Earth's Structure & Composition – Lithosphere, mantle, and core; plate tectonics and global dynamics

Minerals & Rocks – Identification, classification, and formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks

The Rock Cycle – How rocks transform through geological processes over time

Weathering & Erosion – Physical and chemical breakdown of rocks, soil formation, and sediment transport

Geological Time – Relative and absolute dating methods, stratigraphy, and the geologic time scale

Plate Tectonics – Crustal movement, basin formation, earthquakes, and volcanism

Geological Structures – Folds, faults, and how to read geological maps and cross-sections

Applied Geology – Links to geochemistry, hydrogeology, and environmental geology

Who This Is For

Undergraduate or postgraduate students preparing for exams or thesis work

Engineers or professionals needing geological fundamentals for applied projects

Anyone curious about how Earth works and wants expert guidance

What Makes This Session Unique

As a researcher, I connect textbook fundamentals directly to real-world applications — from fieldwork observations to geochemical data interpretation. You won't just learn the theory; you'll understand why it matters and how it applies to your specific questions.
