Journey to the Center of the Earth

Catalog description

The interconnected set of dynamic systems that make up the Earth. Focus is on fundamental geophysical observations of the Earth and the laboratory experiments to understand and interpret them. What earthquakes, volcanoes, gravity, magnetic fields, and rocks reveal about the Earth's formation and evolution. In addition to the Tuesday Thursday class meeting, a one-hour weekly section will be arranged and scheduling will be determined at the start of the quarter.
