Long Title: FIELD TRIP FOR STRATIGRAPHY AND STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY

Department: Earth/Environmnt/Planetary Sci

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Language of Instruction: Taught in English

Course Type: Lecture/Laboratory

Credit Hours: 2

Description: This field trip will traverse regional geologic domains, interpreting the stratigraphy, structure, geomorphology, and paleoclimate from outcrop and subsurface data. Students will document and interpret the tectonic history, palogeography, controls on depositional systems, and related processes, leading to an understanding of the regional geology, and associated structural, stratigraphic, and petrologic framework. Class readings and discussions will provide the necessary background prior to the scheduled field trip. Repeatable for Credit.
