Stratigraphy, Structure and Tectonics (3, 2)

Catalog description

Examination of how stratigraphic, structural and tectonic principles control the character and distribution of rocks. Study of principles, regional patterns in sedimentary rocks and stresses that deform rocks are explored in laboratory and field exercises. Topics and techniques are discussed within the framework of the 1.2 billion-year geologic history of the VA region and its connection with tectonic processes throughout the rest of the world.
