Marine Geology
E&ES335 SP
Not Currently Offered
Almost two-thirds of the earth's surface is covered by
oceans. Marine geology differs from traditional geology in
several important ways. Among the most important is that its
development and discoveries are technologically dependent.
With new technology have come advances that revolutionized
the way we think about our planet. This course will include
the discussion of creation and destruction of ocean basins
and focus on marine sediments.
