AHS 424 – Structural Geology and Tectonics is offered ‘on demand’. It will be taught in Fall 2017. In this course we focus on the practical aspects of structural geology through field measurements (strike and dip), detailed analysis of fabrics in hand samples, and map interpretation of structural relations. We also examine the range of tectonic settings and the structural records typically preserved as well as the interpretation of tectonic setting from structural/stratigraphic data. This is a lecture and lab class. It meets for ‘lectures’ three days a week, and for a 1 hr 50 minute lab each week.
