SEMINAR IN GLACIAL AND PLEISTOCENE GEOLOGY

GEOG/GEOSCI 420

Principles, characteristics and work of glaciers; events of the Pleistocene. Field trip.

GEOSCI 970

Exploration of topics in the field of Geochemistry with an emphasis on engagement with recent literature.

GEOSCI 875

Special topics in Geoscience.

GEOSCI 376

Special topics or discussions of recent research in Geoscience.

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.
