Tectonics

Past and present mechanisms of global tectonics, including mountain building, ocean-basin structure, continental drift, mantle processes, continental evolution, structural geology and petrology of Earth's crust, and the tectonic history of selected key regions of the globe. Prerequisites: Geo-Sci 321, 431.

ST- Art & Style/PhysProcGeoSci

This course will help you understand mathematics and physics, those courses you took but now don't remember, so that you can fulfill your dreams of being a scientist. We will learn the art and style of quantitative analysis using geologic processes as examples. We will re-learn calculus, probability and statistics, and linear algebra. We will learn the Python computing language to write computer code to apply, use, and learn these concepts. After this course, you should feel more comfortable understanding math and physics and their applications to Geosciences.

Natural Hazards

Natural hazards as interaction of extreme geophysical events and the spatial organization of human activities. Topics include earthquakes, floods, drought, landslides, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Policy and economic implications of hazards, risk assessment, hazard mapping. Some prior experience of scientific subjects recommended.
