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 is designed to introduce you to some of the basic tools and principles used in paleoceanography. We will also focus on abrupt changes in the ocean-climate system and consider the evidence used to interpret what triggered these changes and how the system responded to various forcing factors and the feedbacks involved.

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 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.

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.
