GLACIAL AND PLEISTOCENE GEOLOGY

GEOSCI 875

Special topics in Geoscience.

GEOSCI 204

Physical evolution of the earth and its relationship to the development of life through geologic time. Includes field trip.

GEOSCI 100

Geologic processes; structure and history of the earth; earthquakes, volcanos, glaciers, groundwater, minerals, rocks, deserts, fossils; topographic and geologic maps; climate change on geologic and human time scales.

GEOSCI 720

Addresses the fundamentals of glaciology and glacier landform mechanics: mass balance, ice deformation, basal slip, temperature structure, glacial hydrology, sediment deformation and deposition, and landform building processes. 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.

GEOSCI 920

An exploration of modern glacial, glaciology, and Pleistocene geology literature. Includes a field trip to explore local glacial geology.
