It is shown how these methods can be applied to bulk Earth geochemistry, dating of a wide variety of rock types and common geological processes, the age and origin of the Moon and meteorites, crustal evolution, mantle reservoirs, the origins of igneous rocks, crustal thermal histories, sedimentary diagenesis, sedimentary provenance, palaeotemperatures, ore petrology and water-rock interaction. Performance is generally evaluated using continuous assessment, and midterm and final exams. No Data Given. For Graduate Students Section 001. Elastic wave propagation in layered media, free oscillations, equations of state, source characteristics of earthquakes and explosions, earthquake prediction and advanced instrumentation.
Emphasis varies from year to year.
No Data Given. The Master of Science degree in Geology or the Master of Science degree in Mineralogy. A thesis, a report on a research project, or a publishable scientific paper must be presented to and judged acceptable by two faculty members who form the Candidate's M.Sc. Committee. The chair of the Committee will be the faculty member under whose direction the work is done. The subject of the research project, scientific paper, or thesis, whichever the Candidate elects, must be chosen no later than the first week of the second term in residence.
