Section Title:
Geomicrobiology of Hot Springs
Section Info:
Graduate level seminar class that will provide an open discussion of literature pertaining to the geomicrobiology of hot springs. Topics considered range from terrestrial hot spring studies (acidic to circum-neutral pH) to marine hydrothermal vents. Additional material on serpentinization and impacts on deep microbial life will also be included. 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.

Methods in Applied Geophysics
Section Info:
This is a geophysical methods course providing practical applications of near-surface geophysical exploration. Students will gain hands-on training in geophysical survey design and data collection, as well as basic data processing and analysis. Students will communicate their findings through both written geophysical data reports and oral presentations. Lectures will supplement fieldwork to provide theory and background. The course will focus on seismic reflection, gravity, ground penetrating radar (GPR), resistivity, and electromagnetic induction methods. Standard letter graded. Class meets in room 4041 Natural History Building.
