The needs of mineral resources by our society is continuously growing. The performance of Geological Maps during all stages of exploration, is continuously achieved not only during the investigation phase, but also during the evaluation and exploitation phases of mineral resources. The Geological Maps are the base on which the other mining works are planned and performed. To have highly reliable Geological Maps all along the process is of primary importance. If these maps are not correct, the objectives of the search programs, on which important human, financial and material resources are invested, could fail.

The teacher of this course is Juan Jose Gomez, former Professor of the Faculty of Geological Sciences of the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain), where has been teaching Geological Mapping for more than 25 years, former General Manager of Exxon Minera Española. The course is presented through high quality multimedia contents within the virtual Moodle platform, combined with practical exercises together with videoconferences that could be visited at any time in case the student cannot be present on them, as well as videotutorials.
