GEOL 387. Stratigraphy, Structure, and Tectonics

4.00
Examination of how stratigraphic, structural, & tectonic principles control the character and distribution of rocks. Study of principles, regional patterns in sedimentary rocks, and stresses that deform rocks are explored in laboratory and field exercises. Topics and techniques are discussed within the framework of the 1.2 billion year geologic history of the VA region and its connection with tectonic processes throughout the rest of the world. Prerequisites: GEOL 110L and GEOL 230
