Review and discussion of current literature in the fields of structural geology and tectonics. Prerequisite: at least one graduate course in structural geology.

Literature of igneous and metamorphic petrology and related aspects of mineralogy.

With lab. Description and analysis of deformation and deformation processes at scales ranging from minerals to mountain belts. Topics include: faults, folds, construction of cross-sections, interpretation of structural fabrics, stress, strain, plate tectonics, New England geology, and the geologic history of North America. Emphasis on three-dimensional visualization of geologic features and practical solutions to structural problems relevant to industry and research. Several short field trips (during lab) and one weekend field trip. Prerequisites: GEO-SCI 201 and 311.
