10267	Independent Study		ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending		Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/16-05/04/16 Special Approval: Instructor Approval Required
64096	Conference	C4	ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending	Anders, A Guenthner, W	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/16-05/04/16 Special Approval: Instructor Approval Required Credit: 1 hours Section Title: GIS Analysis of the Ozarks Section Info: Description: The tectonic and geomorphic history of the Ozark Plateau has received little study to date. However, recent discussion of the potential for recent uplift of the Appalachians suggests that this region may provide insight into dynamic topography and the evolution of continental interior plateaux. Students will apply modern GIS techniques to characterize the geomorphology of the Ozark Plateau. After introduction to the area and a GIS tutorial, students will work in small groups to complete independent projects over the course of the semester. Results will be presented at a symposium at the end of the semester. Previous GIS experience is recommended. Restricted to Geology/Geography & GIS/CEE graduate students. Instructor approval required; email Prof. Anders (<a href="mailto:amanders@illinois.edu">amanders@illinois.edu</a>). S/U grading.
63308	Lecture	K16	9:30AM -11:50AM	M	108 508 S Sixth	Song, X	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/16-05/04/16 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Physics of Earth's Interior Section Info: The objective of the course is to present a broad picture as well as an in-depth discussion of our current state of knowledge about Earth's interior and how the deep Earth is explored. The focus will be on seismological aspects and physical interpretations. We'll cover a few selected topics that are most exciting as well as basic methodologies that are being used. The format will be a combination of lectures and in-depth discussion of classical and current papers. Standard Letter Grading.
63311	Lecture-Discussion	V1	10:00AM -10:50AM	MWF	122 Davenport Hall	Guenthner, W	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/16-05/04/16 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Geochronology Section Info: This course will serve as an introduction to the fundamentals of geochronology and radiogenic isotope geochemistry. We will survey the major radiogenic isotopic systems used in the earth sciences, including: Rb/Sr, Sm/Nd, U/Pb, U series, radiocarbon, and extinct radionuclides. In addition to studying the systematics of each chronometer, we will also delve into how these systems are applied to solve a range of geologic problems such as processes operating on early earth, chemical differentiation of the earth and solar system, and paleoclimatology. Standard letter grading.
