Resumen
Applied Geology focuses on the application of basic geological knowledge for addressing environmental, engineering, and geohazard problems. It covers a variety of topics including geodynamics, sedimentology and stratigraphy, volcanology, engineering geology, environmental geology, hydrogeology, geo-hazard and mitigation, mineral resources, energy resources, medical geology, geoarchaeology, as well as applied geophysics and geodesy (Diyaning et al., 2017). Harmonised curricula, if well-coordinated, will facilitate effective harnessing of natural resources of the continent such as oil, gas and groundwater. It will also guarantee that preventive and mitigation measures are instituted to mitigate geohazards while monitoring effects on the environment caused by exploitation of the natural resources.
This book is intended to highlight the achievements attained in Phase II with emphasis on workable generic competences determined in Phase I and subject-specific competences adopted for the intended curriculum in Applied Geology. Course units and time allocation that was deemed to be adequate were also provided accordingly.
