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 seminar will focus on the IPCC 2021 Working Group I report (Physical Science Basis). The IPCC stands for Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and is the main international organization for assessing the current state of scientific knowledge for global climate change. The IPCC reports are a result of contributions from thousands of scientists from all over the world, and are a comprehensive summary of the current state of climate change research. The course will be conducted in a reading-and-discussion format. Students will be expected to lead some of the discussions as well as actively participate in all of the discussions

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.

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. Students are expected to have a working knowledge of calculus, including derivatives and integrals

This course will offer an overview of planetary interiors based on physical and numerical analyses. Planetary interiors provide crucial insights into the formation of planets and their evolution. The course will review materials including (but not limited to) basic physics of star and planet formation, planetary materials under high pressures, gravity fields, planetary impacts, magnetic fields, mantle convection, and exoplanet observations. Numerical analyses and data visualization are important aspects of the lectures and homework assignments. We will also learn scientific writing and science communications. Basic coding skills are required.

This course is intended for advanced undergraduates and will provide an introduction to the exciting field of ice core research. We will cover the basics of ice core science in the first few sessions, and then continue with more in-depth sessions on some of the most important and interesting questions in the ice core field. A large component of the course will be reading, presentation and discussion of the research literature. Students will be expected to write either an individual or a group review paper on an ice-core related question of their choice.

Mountain building, volcanoes, earthquakes and their relationship to one another and to Plate Tectonics. Structural style and tectonic evolution of North American mountain belts with special reference to the Appalachians and Rocky Mountain Cordillera. Homework assignments involve drawings and interpreting cross-sections through mountain belts. Extended field trip (3-5 days) to the Appalachians to look at typical structures of mountain belts (trip involves camping and short, rugged hikes).
