Laboratories cover major groups of invertebrate fossils, microfossils, their classification and living analogues. GLG299Y1 Research Opportunity Program Credit course for supervised participation in faculty research project. See page 44 for details. GLG318H1 Igneous Processes 26L, 39P Examination of the processes responsible for the diversity of igneous rocks. Emphasis is on the fundamental thermodynamics and kinetics of igneous systems and their role in crystallization, melting, and magmatic behaviour such as immiscibility, assimilation and mixing.
Laboratories focus on textures, mineralogy, composition and field relationships.
A mandatory 2 day field trip in late September. Methods include geological mapping, stratigraphic section measurement, use of compass-clinometers, note and sample taking and the application of computers in field geology. This is a summer session course and students must also register with the Department in the preceding term. Each student must pay the cost of transportation and accommodation. GLG207H , 216H , 217H GLG345H1 Structural Geology and Geomechanics 26L, 39P Analysis of geological structures on various scales, using the concepts of displacement, stress and strain.
