This seminar will review domain literature concerning best practices in diversity, inclusion, and pedagogy, while connecting these topics to workplace and classroom experiences. Starting with core literature and examples from geosciences, geology, geography and elsewhere, students will engage in critical discussion of how race, gender, class and other identities have been marginalized in these fields. Through conversations, reflections, and participatory actions, this course will explore current issues and consider how to create an equitable landscape moving forward.

The seminar will focus on readings suggested each week by speakers in the International Quaternary webinar series, with discussions and presentations by seminar participants.

This course offers an introduction to the science of seismology. This course constitutes a broad overview of observational and theoretical seismology and the utilization of seismic waves for the study of the Earth's interior, and help students develop a better understanding of physical principles important for geophysical research. Topics include elastic wave propagation, seismic ray theory, interpretation of travel times, finite frequency effects, surface wave dispersion, and seismic tomography.

This course will help you understand mathematics and physics in the context of the Geosciences. You will focus on understanding the mathematical, physical and statistical methods necessary to understand geologic processes. You will learn the Python computing language to write computer code to apply, use, and learn these concepts. You will also recognize the application of similar mathematical and physical equations to a broad range of subdisciplines in the Geosciences. After this course, you should feel more comfortable understanding math and physics and their applications to Geosciences.

Origin and forms of glaciers; erosional and depositional processes and recognition of erosional and constructional landforms and depositional systems. Pleistocene history of New England, sea level, and isostasy. Field trips by arrangement.

This course is about the ancient ocean and its relationship with the atmosphere, appropriate for graduate students and advanced undergraduates with an interest in ocean and climate sciences. The course introduces students to the conceptual basis and application of proxies needed to understand how ocean circulation, water mass formation, water column structure, productivity, sea surface temperatures, and ocean chemistry have changed through time.

This course provides a broad survey of climate and environmental modeling techniques used in the Earth and Climate Sciences. The emphasis of the course is on the use of computers to model the climate system, including the atmosphere, oceans, ice sheets, and biosphere. This course is of interest to anyone seeking to gain a better understanding of what Earth system models are, how they work, what they can and can?t do, and how they can be incorporated into a wide range of research topics in the Earth, climate, ecological, agricultural, and social sciences.
