Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Environmental Geosciences

Description:

This course applies continuum physics to geological problems, beginning with plate tectonics, progressing into the study of stress and strain in geological strata from earth processes. Large scale problems (frictional heating on faults, flow through volcanic pipes, mantle convection) are examined by applying principles from heat transfer, faulting and fluid mechanics.
