GEOL 323 Search for Our Past

Credits: 3

Earth is a dynamic system and was vastly different in the past. The tools needed to reconstruct Earth’s history are studied and applied to investigate the tectonic, environmental, and biological changes that occurred on Earth through the last ~4.6 billion years. Interactions between tectonics, climate, and the evolution of life are emphasized.
