The Department of Geology’s Lithotheque is a space designed for the storage and conservation, in appropriate conditions, of geological materials of interest that have been catalogued in a timely manner.
These geological materials are registered in a database where the type of rocks, their geographical origin and the name of the geologist or engineer who has studied them in their research projects are recorded.
As such, a lithotechnology library is a key resource for geologists and engineers in their efforts to decipher the subsurface, find more resources and find the most efficient way to exploit them.
This space will have three registers: geological units, samples and analytical, organised and interrelated in order to offer the greatest volume of information, arranged in a clear and systematic way.
We will also have the corresponding bibliographic, cartographic and photographic documentation associated with these registers.
This construction has already begun and we estimate that it will last approximately a month and a half. It is an important part of the project for the analysis of geological materials that will provide us with a great deal of information.
