GEOL 388. Advanced Structure, Stratigraphy, Tectonics (3,2)


Credits 4.00 PeopleSoft Course ID 013584

Advanced concepts in structural geology (analyses of rheology, stress & strain, deformation fabrics, and chronologic constraints) applied to the tectonic evolution of orogens and basins. This will include exploration of the mechanisms controlling the stratigraphic record (auto- and allogenic mechanisms and sequence theory) of basins, as well as methods of dating the stratigraphic record (biofacies and biostratigraphy, geochronology and chronostratigraphy, and magneto and chemostratigraphy). Prerequisite(s): Prerequisite: GEOL 387 .
