-
3.00 Credits
Prereq: GEOL 415 or equivalent. Depositional framework of marine and continental sedimentary basins. Study of the means by which depositional environments of sedimentary rocks are determined.
-
3.00 Credits
Prereq: Geol 310; Geol 318 recommended. Explores fundamental concepts of identifying and interpreting geologic features using remote imagery, including aerial photographs, topographic data (maps, DEMs), multispectral satellite images, and geophysical imagery. Emphasizes critical evaluation and development of multiple working hypotheses in creating geologic maps from images.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq: Geol 310. Explores fundamental concepts of glaciology and glacial geology. Topics include formation and dynamics of glaciers and glacier mass-balance, processes of glacial erosion, transport, and deposition, quaternary climate change associated with global glaciations, and assessing effects of glaciation on the modern landscape. Includes field trips and research components.
-
5.00 Credits
Prereq: upper-division standing in the sciences or permission of instructor. Concepts and applications of remote sensing data collection analysis of earths surface features using radar, aerial photography and multispectral scanners.
-
3.00 Credits
Prereq: senior status in geology. Introduction of ArcGIS as a tool for manipulating and displaying spatial data. Explores several projects that apply Arc- GIS to geologic problems.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the visualization of earth science data using a variety of univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistical techniques, including correlation, regression, ANOVA, principle component analysis and multiple regression.
-
3.00 Credits
Prereq: PHYS 121; GEOL 318 or 314; GEOL 352 recommended. Reviews applications of continuum physics to geological problems. Fundamental topics may include a review of elementary mechanics, mathematical descriptions of stress, strain, elasticity, buoyancy, and the flow of viscous materials. Geoscience applications may include faulting, flexure, landslides, propagation of seismic waves, flow of glaciers, debris flows, lava flows, isostatic rebound. The exact curriculum will be decided by participants. The tutorial format requires active participation and discussion by all students. Offered alternate years.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq: Geol 318, 406; Geol 409 and 410 recommended. Analysis of geologic structures from microstructural to plate tectonic scales. Includes active and ancient structures, concepts of stress and strain, kinematics and mechanics of deformation, and modeling of deformation. Field trip and research project required. Taught alternate years.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq: Geol 318, 352. Study of active faults, associated crustal deformation and earthquakes. Examines the mechanics of faulting, earthquake seismology, and GPS geodesy. Regional emphasis on the Pacific Northwest.
-
5.00 Credits
Prereq: Geol 352 or equivalent. Geophysical exploration techniques applied to geological problems. Theory and field application of gravity, magnetics, refraction and earthquake seismology, electrical resistivity and others. Class projects include depth-to-bedrock, buried and subsurface features, groundwater estimates and earthquake potential and grounds response.
