Most of the Earth–from surface to core– is made up of crystalline material (minerals), but with important minor components of water-rich fluids and magmas which are responsible for the destruction and creation of new minerals. Together these ‘earth materials’ – and the processes responsible for them coming into being – have shaped Earth for over 4.5 billion years. We will explore the properties of earth materials including their atomic structure, their physical and chemical stability, and the basic principles that govern the chemical composition, occurrence, structure, and classification of minerals. A portion of the course will be devoted to the study of other terrestrial bodies (e.g., Mars and the Moon) and meteorites that make up the primordial building material for planets that we see today.

This course presents the geochemical principles and tools that are needed to understand natural perturbations in earth’s hydrosphere and the fate of anthropogenic pollutants. Topics will include thermodynamics, kinetics, acid-base equilibria, oxidation-reduction reactions, carbon chemistry, and basic isotope geochemistry. Class discussions and assignments will focus on the practical application of these topics to local and global environmental issues. Enrollment in lab is required.

The atmosphere helps to maintain habitable temperatures on our planet's surface, shields life from destructive cosmic and ultraviolet radiation and contains gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, which are essential for life. In this course we will use lectures, discussions and hands-on activities to work toward an understanding of several important questions. How did the Earth acquire and atmosphere? What is in the Earth's atmosphere? What are the sources and sinks of the most important gases in the atmosphere? What is the role of photochemistry in atmospheric composition? How does the atmosphere interact with the land and oceans? How has human activity affected the atmosphere?

Earth’s surface is constantly changing as water, wind and gravity sculpt landscapes. In this course, we will cover the physics of sediment transport and landscape change with respect to rivers, hillslopes, glaciers, sand dunes and more. We will focus on both fundamental concepts and new research, with labs and field trips to support lecture material.

Research frontiers in earth imaging, quake detection, volcano and nuclear explosion monitoring, require extraction of seismic and acoustic signals buried in noise. Seismo-acoustic signals are mechanical vibrations generated in the solid earth and its coupling with the fluid atmosphere and oceans. In this course we will introduce linear system theory, digital signal processing and how they enable routine processing of recorded Seismo-acoustic waves contaminated by the nuisance of ‘noise’. Topics include Fourier analysis, spectrograms, z-transforms, poles-zeros, instrument design, (de-)convolution, autocorrelation, cross-spectra, and filter theory: homomorphic filters, cepstral analysis. Exemplary data will cover geotechnical engineering, forensic, exploration, glacial, submarine and planetary seismology.

Over the last few decades, numerical biogeochemical models have provided new insights into the marine carbon cycle, its contribution to past climate change, and its potential responses to future climate warming. In this practical class, students will build simple biogeochemical models-ranging from 'box' models of marine microbial ecosystems to three-dimensional nutrient cycling models-and design experiments to address climate change hypotheses. They will also be taught to analyze output from state-of-the-art climate models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Students will not only learn invaluable programming skills, but also gain a deeper intuition of the ocean carbon cycling and its role in the global climate system.

This course will focus on geologic and geophysical studies of planets (interiors and surfaces), and the conditions that led to the origin of life. We will start with initial conditions, defined here as the formation of Earth and the Moon-forming event, and trace development of the planet from cooling of the magma ocean onwards. We next consider how our planetary neighbors (Venus and Mars) evolved, as well as key satellites in the solar system that may harbor life, or provide insight into early conditions on Earth.
