Students will read and lead weekly discussions of “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” by Thomas Kuhn. They will then identify and present foundational papers in the earth science discipline of their choice and analyze these works in the context of Kuhn’s phases of paradigm change. 3 credit hours. Standard letter graded.
