Students will learn the fundamentals of processes in the land; atmosphere; oceans; and cryosphere: the components making up the global climate. This framework will provide ; the basis for an investigation of what happens when one of these components is perturbed; including theoretical repercussions and actual measured data from the past and present on both a global and regional scale. (Alternating Fall) Credits 4
Students learn how to recognize deformational features such as folds; faults; joints and dikes; how to; correlate these with three dimensional geometric techniques such as folding lines and stereographic nets; and how to derive from these features the important tectonic parameters active at the time of their formation: maximum stress direction; principal stress differences; confining pressure and strain rate.
