Geology 333 - Structural Geology

'This course covers the basic techniques of field geology and structural analysis: field techniques, stress, strain, faulting, folding, rock strength, deformation mechanisms, and multidisciplinary approaches to mountain building (orogenesis). Most labs are field trips that involve data collection. Weekly writing assignments focus on presenting original research and distinguishing between observations and interpretations. During the final weeks of the semester, oral presentations and a final paper emphasize fluency in the published literature of structural geology.'
