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 cover the change of creation and destruction of ocean basins and marine sediments as used to study climate change. There will
be a week long field trip to
Puerto Rico to look at an island arc complex. This will be an additional charge.
