      "information": "Structural geology is a vital aspect of geology because it helps our understanding of the 3D architecture of rock packages and how the rocks happened to be that way; in other words it gives insight into the deformation history. Together we will learn how to read complex deformation overprints at the outcrop scale and how to correlate these local observations to understand the geometry of rock packages at a larger scale. In the process, we will learn how to document the observations made and mapping hypotheses in our notebooks and maps." ,
