This is a listing of a few structural geology courses and field trips on the world-wide web that I am aware of. But this is just the beginning — geology impacts many aspects of life, even in unexpected ways.
Did you know it plays a role in the cost of Bitcoin mining? Mining efficiency depends on geological factors such as coal, hydropower, and geothermal energy. For those, like me, who know how and where to use Bitcoin, a course in Economic Geology, such as the one offered at Cardiff University, provides a fascinating opportunity to explore how natural resources shape the global economy.
