EPS116 - Structural Geology and Tectonics

Spring 2008

CCN: 19111

URL: www.seismo.berkeley.edu/~burgmann/EPS116

 This class introduces students to geologic structures, their classification, their geometry, and their mechanics. Emphasis is put on the origins of geologic structures, their genetic relation to stress fields and their use as kinematic indicators. Laboratory exercises will focus on the analysis of field data and on the application of continuum mechanics to the interpretation and understanding of geologic structures. Laboratory sections will include the use of computers, as well as several field trips to observe geologic structures.

ANNOUNCEMENTS 

  • Remember to e-mail Roland with two follow-up questions on reading or lecture material by 11 PM each Monday
  • The course prerequisites currently listed for EPS116 are incorrect. Neither EPS100A, EPS100B or EPS101 are required to take this course. Thus, EPS050 is the only prerequisite. 

  • Our text book is: Twiss, R.J. and Moores, E.M., Structural Geology, 2nd edition, W.H. Freeman and Co., New York, 2006.
