Course Information

GEO 5040 - Geodynamics

Institution:
University of Utah
Subject:
Geology and Geophysics
Description:
This course will focus on continuum mechanics in Geoscience. We are going to cover a range of topics and as such we will not be able to cover each topic exhaustively; rather the goal of this course is to give you a flavor of the methods and techniques available to you. Often, we will not be able to rigorously derive all of the pertinent equations. We will instead focus on the use of the most important equations and relationships, the assumptions behind these equations, and what these relationships mean for interpreting geologic processes.
