GEOL 644 - Structural Styles of Plate Margins and Regions Units: 4 Thematic topical study of important regions, deformational styles, or plate-margin types. Focus on reading seminal papers on the subject and contemporary work. Format is combined lecture, seminar-style discussion, and student presentations. Students write weekly précis and make one class presentation.
Prerequisites: M.S. Geology major. Possible Instructional Methods: On-ground. Grading: A-F grading only. Student Learning Outcomes - Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to: - Develop an understanding and appreciation for how structural style varies around in response to differences in plate tectonic rates and directions, sedimentary deposition, erosion rates, etc. around the planet.
- Interpret geologic maps and datasets from different area and regions, and identify the geological conditions that account for their common features and differences.
- Recognize and classify tectonic styles and relate them to their type-locality and seminal academic references.
