GEOS 898: Geology of North America (Class # 3420, Sec # 691)
July 15-19 (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.)
This course will discuss how the geology of the North American continent contains classic examples of nearly every geologic process that has acted to form the crust of the Earth (e.g. the San Andreas Fault, Yellowstone National Park, Nebraska Sandhills) and will explore the processes of plate tectonics and the way that the surface of the Earth (and life thereon) has evolved throughout geologic time.
