Structural Geology
E&ES 223 FA

Structural geology is the study of the physical evidence and processes of rock deformation including jointing, faulting, folding, and flow. These structures provide insight into the evolution of the Earth's crust, geologic hazards (earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides), and distribution of natural resources and contaminants. This course introduces the theoretical foundations, observational techniques and analytical methods used in modern structural geology. Geologic structures are studied in the field and from published data sets and analyzed to understand fundamental processes.
