Units: 5
Geometric, kinematic, and dynamic analysis of geologic structures and their origins and evolution. Laboratory emphasis on descriptive geometry, stereographic solutions to structural problems and data analysis; geologic maps and structure sections. Computer methods. Lecture Units: 3; Lab Units: 2. Formerly GEOL 381.
Prerequisites: GEOL 360 or EESC 361.
Possible Instructional Methods: On-ground.
Grading: A-F grading only.
