Course
Title Schedule
Description

Geology 543
Tectonics
Next taught Spring 2005 Study of the plate tectonic processes that shape the earth's crust, and of large-scale intraplate deformation. Taught on alternate years.

Geology 642
Advanced Structural Geology
On demand Study of the development of geological structures emphasizing both theoretical and observational aspects. Problems ranging from the microstructural to the orogenic scale are addressed. Taught on demand.

Geology 645
Basin Structures
Spring 2004

M-W 11:00-1:00 Origin of sedimentary basins and their distribution around the world. Emphasis on the geodynamic processes of basin formation, the structures within basins, and the occurence of hydrocarbons and mineral resources. Taught on alternate years.
