| G591, Physical Sedimentology. A course that is in part an exploration of fluid mechancis for sedimentologists, and in part a survey of sedimentary structures (physical, biological, microbial). Includes field trips and hands on projects in the flume lab. | |
| G690 (seminar), Black Shale Seminar. A survey of recent and "classical" literature on black shale topics, and a discussion of concepts of black shale formation as they "evolved" over time. Includes field trips to Devonian black shale locations. | |
| G690 (seminar), Shale Petrography. A survey of recent and "classical" literature on shale petrography, and evaluation (and refutation) of classical concepts of shale desposition on the basis of hands on examination of shale samples by petrographic microscope and SEM. Includes field trips to classical shales in the eastern US and Utah. | |
| G690 (seminar), SEM Techniques. An introduction to Scanning Electron Microscopy Theory, and practice of SEM operations (FEI Quanta 400 FEG) including SE, BSE, and EDS applications. Instruction on the SEM in small groups, student project for grade. | |
| G690, Terrigenous Clastic Deposition. A course that surveys environments of deposition of terrigenous clastic sediment. Includes discussion of modern environments, ancient facies equivalents, and sedimentation models. | |
