GEOLOGIC STRUCTURES AND FIELD METHODS

Catalog description

Study of causes behind formation of major structural features of earth plus identification techniques and description of geologic structures in field. Emphasizes (1) Understanding and quantifying geologic deformation, (2) material response to conditions of deformation, (3) identification/description of geologic structures in multiple scales, and (4) geologic field/data analyses techniques such as stereographic projections and preparation and interpretation of geologic maps. PREREQ: ( GEOLGY 100 OR GEOLGY 101 OR GEOGRPY 210 ) AND ( MATH 139 OR HIGHER)
