Catalog Description

Integrates glacial sedimentology and stratigraphy with near-surface, geophysical methodologies. Field work to collect data to analyze in the lab is mandatory. Data to be presented as posters.

Syllabus

See attached.

Curriculum Fit

This course will be mandatory for all incoming MS Geology graduate students pursuing a degree in Earth Surface Processes and will be considered a core course for their program. The course is not intended to provide detailed instruction in either glacial sedimentology, glacial stratigraphy, stratigraphy or near surface geophysics. Instead it blends these areas together to illustrate synergistic relationships and to simulate real world research experiences.
