GEOL 593 class schedule data for fall 2016
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
10267	Independent Study		ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending		Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/16-12/07/16 Special Approval: Instructor Approval Required
66249	Lecture-Discussion	F6	3:30PM -4:50PM	T	Davenport Hall	Sanford, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/16-12/07/16 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Geomicro & N-Cycle Over Earth Section Info: Graduate level seminar class that will provide an open discussion of literature linking geomicrobiology and geochemistry to the nitrogen cycle over earth history. Topics considered range from the influence of the great oxygenation event on biogeochemical N-cycling to the emergence of specific pathways (i.e. N-fixation, ammonia oxidation and denitrification). Literature that relates how current human influences on the N-cycle differ from any previous natural events in the geological record will also be emphasized especially in the context of climate change. Presentations will be assigned in the class based on recent literature. Each student will be expected to give presentations in class and prepare short critiques of the assigned literature. Grades based on presentations, written critiques and participation. Standard Letter Grading.
53498	Lecture-Discussion	K8	ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending	Bass, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/16-12/07/16 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Current Res & Literature Earth Section Info: Current Research and Literature in Earth Interior. Approved for S/U grading only.
66199	Lecture-Discussion	N1	1:00PM -2:50PM	F	Davenport Hall	Malinowski, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/16-12/07/16 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Evolution of Sedimentary Basin Section Info: Graduate level seminar class that will explore the architecture and evolution of sedimentary basins controlled by tectonics and climate. Topics covered will focus on the tectonic-climate controls of facies distribution, sequence stratigraphy, provenance, and basin analysis. Discussions, presentations, and papers will be assigned in class based on recent literature. Grades based on presentations, papers, and participation in discussions. Standard Letter Grading.
66235	Lecture-Discussion	Q2	9:00AM -9:50AM	MWF	Davenport Hall	Guenthner, W	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/16-12/07/16 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Orogenic Systems Section Info: This class examines the physical and chemical processes that create and destroy mountain belts. We will take a "core to clouds" perspective by examining mountain belts as integrated earth systems that evolve through time. The course materials will include the most recent published research in the field to guide class lectures and discussion. Standard Letter Grading.
