GEOL252 2018: Fieldwork Preparation: Orientation and SafetyDomestic students intending to take GEOL 252 in 2018 (Summer School or Semester 1) must fill out this form by the end of November 2017. International students should fill out this form as soon as possible (but are not required to make this deadline).

This document serves several purposes:

1. For you to give us names and addresses of contacts at home and to inform us of any problems you may have that may affect your safety in the field.

2. To enable you to orient yourself in advance of the Maerewhenua and Borland field classes.

3. To enable you to assess the general hazards and hazards at each of the field localities and to think about how you will behave in the field to reduce the risks associated with each of these hazards.

Other documents on our website may help you here: http://www.otago.ac.nz/geology/study/papers/index.html?papercode=geol252

Procedure:This form will contribute to your assessment on the field class: it will be marked like any other piece of work. This is mandatory preparation for GEOL252. You will not be accepted into GEOL252 unless you have completed this work to an acceptable level (ie you get a pass mark). Ways of getting the work to Dee:

1. Hand it in to her.2. Send by post to: Dee Roben - Academic Administrator

Geology Department, University of OtagoPO Box 56Dunedin 9054New Zealand

3. Email a pdf version (scanned or worked directly on the original documents) to geology@otago.ac.nz Name your file: LASTNAME, initials-252-2018. You must send a single pdf file! Scan to a single pdf or get a pdf merger like PDFSaM (http://www.pdfsam.org/downloads/). PDFSaM Instructions

Information we needThe data on this document will be made available to all staff on the fieldclass and will be kept for future reference.

1.3 Behaviour in Rural AreasList aspects of your behaviour that are important in preserving the environment and maintaining good relationships with farmers and other local people during the course of the fieldclass.

1.2.3.4.5.

1.4 Emergenciesa. On this fieldclass you will always be close to a group comprising half of the fieldclass. If there is an

accident or some other urgent problem arises, what should you do?

b. What is meant by the ABC (or DRSABC) of first aid? Briefly explain the importance of this.

2. Maerewhenua Itinerary: orientation and planning for specific hazards

The exact itinerary will depend upon weather and other factors. The exercises below will give you an idea of where we are going, what the geology is and what specific hazards exist.

2.1 On at least one day we will go to a coastal locality- next to Oamaru harbour.

a. Fill in the times (use the 24 hour clock and daylight savings time) and heights (in m) of high tide and low tide and whether the tides are spring or neap for each of the days of the class where we are working on the coast. Dates for both summer school and semester 1 classes are listed. Calculate tides for all dates, irrespective of which class you are on. Tide tables and instructions on how to use them can be found at:

http://www.linz.govt.nz/hydro/tidal-info/tide-tables/calculate or use the tool athttp://www.niwa.co.nz/services/online-services/tide-forecaster

Low tides High tides Spring/Neap24 January25 January26 January27 January 28 January29 January

20 February21 February22 February 23 February24 February25 February

b. Outline in 3 to 4 lines how you have calculated the tide times.

c. Suggest which is the best day for us to go to Oamaru, given that we can only work within 3 hours of low tide.

d. Explain what is meant by spring and neap tides.

2.2 The following table lists the grid references of arrival and departure points and localities we intend to visit associated with each place. We are staying at Dansey’s Pass Motor Camp at grid reference 14082 50203. If you have forgotten about grid references, use your GEOL112 lab book (page 1.4).

You are provided with three geological maps and a series of nine topographic maps on a variety of scales. All maps have either 1km or 10km grids. You may also want to access other resources such as google maps or earth to help identify hazards and for general orientation. See section that follows on resources you may want to use.

The maps are incomplete because the scale is not marked and North is not marked.

a. Add the missing information to make all the maps complete. b. Locate detailed topographic maps on maps of less detail (with boxes) so that you can easily locate any of

the maps on the general topographic and geological maps. Number the maps in some logical way so that you can find your way around your maps.

c. On the appropriate maps, mark the arrival and departure points and the working areas. Mark possible access routes appropriate (consider topography, tracks, tidal conditions etc).

d. On the appropriate maps, annotate, neatly and clearly, the hazards, associated with the working localities and the approach to the localities that you can assess from the maps (or from online resources listed below). If relevant make reference to your tide table. An example hazard map can be seen at (http://www.otago.ac.nz/geology/admin-health-safety/field-procedures/index.html)

e. By reference to the geological map, suggest on the map, what age and type of rocks we will be examining at the localities. Annotate this onto the appropriate maps. This is quite different using the printed geological maps – you may want to enlarge the pdf version on screen.

Mark the maps in pencil so that changes can be made later if necessary. You will need to use the maps each day of the fieldclass so ensure your work is neat. If you use symbols, make sure there is a key.

3. Borland Itinerary: orientation and planning for specific hazards

Use the map labeled Borland. (1km grid) You will also need to access other resources such as google maps or earth to help identify hazards and for general orientation. See section that follows on resources you may want to use.

a. Add scale bar and north arrow to the map.b. Indicate the location of the enlarged map on the main mapc. General locations of some places we will visit are shown on the map (labeled A,B,C,D,E). Fill in the

table provided on the next page. In the hazards box list some hazards associated with those areas. Include hazards with walking to those areas. -Borland Road is narrow with drop-offs on one side. We will be examining road-cut outcrops.-We will be going to the South-Coast to examine outcrops along the coast.

4. Resources you may want to useYou may find it helpful to access some online resources to look at the maps in a wider context and to look at the landscape via tools such as Google Earth:

http://www.topomap.co.nz/This allows you to look at topo maps and/ or satellite imagery (and superpose the images).https://maps.google.co.nz/For map view with or without terrain and for satellite view.http://www.google.com/earth/index.htmlTo download Google Earth. Flyovers, 3D views etc not available using the topomap site.http://data.gns.cri.nz/geology/ (GNS Science New Zealand Geology Web Map)Instructions for using the New Zealand Geology web map

You may wish (not needed but useful) to buy the relevant QMAP sheet (Geological map plus a book explaining the geology). These can be purchased from GNS Science or UBS. They are also freely available in digital format on the Geology GIS database (campus access only): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1hCpnhgJDLSKOUpC xEGoWFgYeRjaQRwYwrzxCh8xnmo0/viewform
