GEOL 565 Interpretation of Sedimentary Structures - Physical and environmental analysis of sedimentary structures, including biogenic sedimentary structures. Clastic sediments and rocks. Field trips required. Emphasis on the governing equations of heat transfer, fluid and media flow, rheology, and analytical, numerical and scaling solutions. Modeling configurational entropies in solids, activity coefficients and complexes in aqueous solution, and modeling chemical mass transfers in geologic systems.
Emphasis is on continental lithosphere.
