ESCI 321 Structural Geology

Study of the geometry and origin of rock structures such as faults and folds that are products of earth deformation. Emphasis will be placed on recognition and interpretation of structures through field and laboratory studies. Application to environmental and engineering problems will be discussed. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. One or more one-day field trips are required. This course is equivalent to GSCI 321 and credit will not be earned if this course has been previously taken.
