Geology
| Computers in Geology (Undergraduate 4th year) |
|
This course is designed to teach analytical thinking in geological sciences using computing applications. A variety of tools will be used to study, image, and model geological science information and data. Computer hardware and networking basics are also covered, as well as graphics and visualization tools, including spread sheet programming, curve fitting, MATLAB, GMT, and building web pages. Throughout this course, data sets will be used from many different sub-disciplines in the Earth Sciences to learn different data processing, modeling, and imaging techniques.

| Structural Geology |
|
| Description: |
This class deals with ways to recognize and characterize major structures in the earth's crust and ways to gain insight into how these structures form. It also explores techniques for determining the sequence in which structures form. Geometric and timesequence information is integrated with fundamental material in mathematics and physics to introduce students to how the earth's crust can be viewed as a mechanical system. The class will focus on macroscopic structures but will also introduce students to some of the fascinating structures that form at the microscopic scale.
