Time series data are pervasive throughout the Geosciences, found in seismology, hydrology, climate science, paleoclimatology, paleoceanography, geochemistry and more. This course helps students to develop the skills to explore the timing and frequency of a wide array of geoscience processes. It provides an introduction to the processing, analyzing and evaluating of time series data to better understand the underlying physical process that created the data. We will examine time series by developing the statistical and mathematical methods used to analyze them.

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 upper level undergraduate and graduate course discusses governing processes in the coastal zone including sea level change, tides, waves, storms, flooding, estuarine dynamics and dynamic coastal landforms (e.g. beaches, marshes, deltas, etc.). Student are taught common computer coding techniques to analyze modern tide gauge, wave buoy, stream flow, and other instrumental observations from coastal, estuarine and coastal river environments.

This course is a broad survey of physical oceanography appropriate for graduate students and advanced undergraduates with interest in ocean, atmosphere and climate sciences. Emphasis is on the role of the ocean as a system influencing the Earth's surface processes and climate. Topics include: properties and behavior of sea water; wind driven and density-driven ocean circulation; air-sea coupling; ocean-ice interactions; linkages between physical ocean processes and biogeochemical cycles (the marine carbon cycle); and the role of the ocean in past, present, and future climate change.

This is a transformative course that explores the science, societal influences, and projected impacts of Earth's changing climate. The course is appropriate for graduate students and undergraduates with an interest in climate science, climate change and society. Students critically analyze key aspects of climate change, gaining a deep understanding of its drivers, trends, and future scenarios. Through lectures, discussions, and scientific investigations, they examine adaptation and mitigation strategies, as well as the global perspectives and inequities surrounding climate change.

Complete series of operations required for publication of a geological map: field location and drawing of contacts, collection and interpretation of field notes, data reduction, drafting, and methods of reproduction. Two afternoons per week in the field. Prerequisites: GEO-SCI 321, 431 or equivalent training.
