Structural Geology

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.

Quant Meth In Geog

Methods of data analysis and visualization useful in geographic research. Descriptive and inferential statistics through linear regression and analysis of variance, with applications of quantitative methods to spatial data. Examples drawn from both human and physical geography. Extensive use of computers. (Gen.Ed. R2)
