  • GLY 434: Methods in Volcanology

    3.00 Credits
    University at Buffalo

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GLY 431 Corequisites: None Type: LEC This course will introduce the methods most commonly used by volcanologists in monitoring and studying active volcanoes (including geophysical methods: field observations of eruptions; remote sensing and geological mapping). Through a series of case studies, it will illustrate how such data are used to build a picture of how volcanoes work. (LEC, 3)

  • GLY 444: Surfaces of Geomaterials

    3.00 Credits
    University at Buffalo

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GLY 305 or equivalent Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Describes the theory of surface and interfacial thermodynamic properties, how these properties are experimentally determined, the basis for computations of surface and interfacial free energies, and how the surface properties of minerals can be related to their chemical composition and crystal structures. Gives particular emphasis to those minerals that naturally occur in a colloidal form (the clay minerals), as well as to other geological materials, such as volcanic ash, that can occur in colloidal sizes.

  • GLY 445: Glacial Geology

    4.00 Credits
    University at Buffalo

    Credits: 4 Prerequisites: GLY 313 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Explores the spectacular landscapes created by glaciers and ice sheets. The course provides students with knowledge to understand present and past glacier and ice sheet processes, based on the most up-to-date findings and state-of-the-art techniques. Students get hands-on experience by studying the rich ice sheet history of the Buffalo area. This lecture and lab combination provides students with a comprehensive knowledge base with which they can interpret glacier processes and history from a variety of landform assemblages and surficial sediments found across the northern United States. The laboratory consists of map and aerial photograph, computer, and field exercises.

  • GLY 453: Quaternary Dating and Paleoclimate

    3.00 Credits
    University at Buffalo

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GLY 31, GLY 313 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Explores the Earth s large swings in climate over the past million years, how they are documented, the various dating techniques used to place them into a chronological framework, and the implications for how the Earth s climate system operates. Focuses on marine sediment, ice core, and terrestrial archives of glacial and interglacial cycles, abrupt climate change, past warm periods analogous to our future world, and techniques used to date these records.

    3.00 Credits
    University at Buffalo

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GLY 313 or GLY 326 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Students learn about the processes involved in the formation of the Solar System, and the generation and evolution of planetary surfaces. Primary data, collected by past and present spacecraft and landers is used to demonstrate how geologic processes are both similar and distinct throughout the Solar System.

  • GLY 458: Macroevolution

    3.00 Credits
    University at Buffalo

    Credits: Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: LEC Acquaints advanced undergraduate students with the principal issues of macroevolutionary theory (i.e., issues at the species level and above, which are manifest on the scale of geological time) and hones analytical skills as preparation for undertaking graduate research. Evolutionary theory is an interdisciplinary topic that draws on information from ecology, population biology, systematics, anthropology, and paleobiology.
