GEOL 733 - Petrotectonics (3 units)
Investigation of the link between deep-to-shallow and crustal-to-mantle processes, focus on learning from plate tectonics through the petrologic, deformational, and geochemical study of rocks.
Grading Basis: Graded
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Fall
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. explain the value of high-pressure and ultrahigh-pressure terranes in deciphering the tectonic and geochemical evolution of Earth.
2. identify subducted crustal material that has been exhumed to the surface from the field trip.
3. explain what tectonic forces are at play to exhume these deeply subducted rocks.
4. demonstrate skills in quickly reading, assessing, summarizing and drawing out the main points of international journal articles.
5. demonstrate public speaking and teaching skills through multiple presentations given throughout the semester by individual students.
6. demonstrate improved writing skills through a literature-review report.
