Tectonic Geodynamics
Discuss the processes that determine the evolution of the solid Earth system, combining views from the fields of tectonics, structural geology, and geodynamics. Understand the why of earthquakes, plate motions, subduction, orogeny, and lithospheric deformation including topography. Integrate geophysical and geological constraints from key regional settings to global scales to explore the links between theory and observations. Geological Sciences 350L (Topic 1) and 371T (Topic: Tectonic Geodynamics) may not both be counted.
