Summary

1 / 3

Recent recorded grades — Fall 2010: 3.30 GPA, 40.0% A/AB (n=5 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Explain how geological structures record some combination of displacement, strain, stress, and rheology.

  • Apply simple mathematics to understanding geological structures (that is, what problems can you address with what mathematics).

  • Apply tensor analysis to deformed rocks.

  • Analyze microstructures using concepts of displacement, strain, stress, deformation mechanisms, reactions, and rheology.

  • Describe, at a fundamental level, simple shear and transpressional/transtensional deformation.
