Emphasizes an understanding of the mathematical principles that dictate how glaciers function. Begins with a classical treatment of the mechanics of glaciers and moves onto fundamental advances in the field of glaciology. ### requirements text Graduate/professional standing ### credits min 3 ### credits max 3 ### credit offering ids * 1272:420:025060 ### llm job id enrich-8b774950c2b6adfdc46d1b82 ### llm output id 0baf75e5fc363b46eab1ec594a1b116aa014705760f27591ce4be518ef8088d8 ### llm model nvidia/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 ### llm model revision 1355db6a052410cfd62085d94b58866fd0f2c3c5 ### llm task version 14 ### llm search status valid ### llm summary GEOSCI 720 covers glaciology fundamentals, glacier mechanics, and the mathematical principles governing ice flow and landform formation. ### llm topics * Glacier physics and hydrology * Sediment dynamics and landform mechanics * Mathematical modeling of glacial systems ### llm skills * Apply mathematical principles to glacier function * Analyze glacial physical processes and landform mechanics ### llm assumed background None recorded. ### llm search phrases * glaciology fundamentals * glacier mechanics math * ice deformation basal slip * glacial hydrology sediment * mass balance temperature structure ### llm requirements status valid ### llm student summary status valid ### llm experience status insufficient\_evidence ### catalog variants None recorded. ### student summary #### context hash f3585f1bd526ce4cd2a820c53a84ea4cb92ed145605cd65047e97ab091866c6b #### course id GEOSCI 720 #### current instructors ```json [ { "instructor_uid": "instructor_c8aee81f679b6d47c0a47214", "message": "No course-specific reviews available", "name": "Luke Zoet", "review_status": "no_course_reviews", "rmp_instructor_id": null, "summary": [] }, { "instructor_uid": "instructor_197c3d47a4bc2e05779b7508", "message": "No course-specific reviews available", "name": "Marianne Haseloff", "review_status": "no_course_reviews", "rmp_instructor_id": null, "summary": [ { "citations": [ { "course_id": "GEOSCI 720", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "section_number": 1, "source_course_id": "a902c784-5a3b-34c2-867b-08134391df1c", "source_record": { "entity_id": "a902c784-5a3b-34c2-867b-08134391df1c", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "section_grades_latest", "term_id": "1232", "type": "grade" } ], "text": "Recent recorded grades — Fall 2022: 3.80 GPA, 90.0% A/AB (n=10 letter grades).
