This class is intended to gives a broad survey of topics in marine geology and geophysics. The class content covers recent methods and observations with quantitative applications to an understanding of geophysical and geological processes. Some topics covered are: plate tectonics; seismic, heat flow, grav-ity, and magnetic methods; patterns and processes of sediment transport and deposition. NOTE: Some laboratory exercises augment the lectures, including a field cruise to local beaches. Third year and honours undergraduates will be admitted by consent of the instructor. No previous background in Geology or Geophysics is required.
