-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Independent field experience for undergraduates. Requires a written proposal and final report. Credit Hours: 2 to 4
-
4.00 Credits
In-depth analysis of metamorphic phase equilibria in pelites, amphibolites, carbonates, and ultramafic rocks. Schreinemakers' analysis, petrogenetic grids, P-T-X relations, reaction space, geothermometry, geobarometry, and analysis of zoned prophyroblasts. Heat flow, metamorphic, and tectonic evolution. Laboratory involves analysis of textural relations in thin section and computer exercises. When Offered: Fall term odd-numbered years. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
Topical treatment of current problems and frontiers in igneous petrology, with emphasis on physical and chemical processes. Principles of fluid dynamics and chemical kinetics are applied to the formation and evolution of crust-and mantle-derived magmas. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ERTH 4340. When Offered: Spring term odd-numbered years. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
General topics in advanced geophysics vary each time the seminar is offered. Previous subjects covered include crustal deformation, inverse theory, global positioning system, and seismic wave propagation. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: permission of instructor. When Offered: Spring term even-numbered years. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
An intensive study of hydrologic, geologic, and other factors controlling groundwater flow, occurrence, development, chemistry, and contamination. Groundwater flow theory and aquifer test methods are introduced. Interaction between surface and subsurface hydrologic systems are covered. Some field trips are possible. (Students cannot receive credit for both this course and ERTH 4710.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: MATH 1020 or equivalent, or permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Topics offered previously: geomagnetism, seismology, mineral equilibria; mineral structures; igneous minerals and rocks; sedimentary processes; marine geology, convergent plate margins, geoexploration, remote sensing applications, seismic stratigraphy; physical oceanography. Credit Hours: 1 to 4
-
3.00 Credits
Active participation in a semester-long project, under the supervision of a faculty adviser. A Professional Project often serves as a culminating experience for a Professional Master's program but, with departmental or school approval, can be used to fulfill other program requirements. With approval, students may register for more than one Professional Project. Professional Projects must result in documentation established by each department or school, but are not submitted to the Graduate School and are not archived in the library. Grades of A, B, C, or F are assigned by the faculty adviser at the end of the semester. If not completed on time, a formal Incomplete grade may be assigned by the faculty adviser, listing the work remaining to be completed and the time limit for completing this work.
-
1.00 - 9.00 Credits
Active participation in a master's-level project under the supervision of a faculty adviser, leading to a master's project report. Grades of IP are assigned until the master's project has been approved by the faculty adviser. If recommended by the adviser, the master's project may be accepted by the Office of Graduate Education to be archived in the Library. Grades will then be listed as Credit Hours: 1 to 9
-
1.00 - 9.00 Credits
Active participation in research, under the supervision of a faculty adviser, leading to a master's thesis. Grades of IP are assigned until the thesis has been approved by the faculty adviser and accepted by the Office of Graduate Education to be archived in a standard format in the library. Grades will then be listed as S. Credit Hours: 1 to 9
-
3.00 Credits
Active participation in research, under the supervision of a faculty adviser, leading to a doctoral dissertation. Grades of IP are assigned until the dissertation has been publicly defended, approved by the doctoral committee, and accepted by the Office of Graduate Education to be archived in a standard format in the library. Grades will then be listed as S. Credit Hours: Variable
