Geodynamics deals with the formation, evolution, and, particularly, dynamics of our earth. Our understanding of the Earth's geodynamic processes has evolved rapidly in the past few decades. Continental drift and ocean spreading concepts revolutionized geologic thought processes in the 60s and 70s. The 80s were a period in which attention shifted toward the deep earth where lithospheric processes originate. The class will consist of a discussion of geotectonic, geophysical, and geochemical concepts and weekly readings of papers dealing with the most recent theories and discoveries in geodynamics.
