Reconstruction of biological environments on land for the recent geologic past, based on the fossil remains of plants and animals preserved in sediments. Emphasis on the use of pollen in reconstructing past vegetation types, but other groups of organisms and what they can tell about past environments are included. Extrapolation of past climatic parameters from the biological data. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Geology 142 and Chemistry 141; Geology 251 or Biology 271 is recommended. Four credit hours.

Examines the structure and evolution of major mountain belts at convergent plate boundaries through lecture and primary literature. Topics include deformation mechanisms, rheology, and tectonics; formation of orogenic plateaus; orogenic collapse; relationship between climate, faulting, and exhumation; and anatomy of major mountain belts from around the world. Laboratory component emphasizes microstructural analysis, cross-section construction to obtain shortening estimates, and structural interpretation of major mountain belts.
