A structural geology
laboratory manual comes always handy to anyone dealing with maps, cross-sections
or stereograhic nets. This manual contains explanations and exercises on
attitude measurements, true and apparent dips, three-point problems,
stereographic projections, rotations with the stereonet, stereograms, geologic
mapping and cross-section construction, thickness and outcrop problems ans
statistical techniques.
The aim of this note is to
provide a basic introduction to the geological and geophysical processes that
form and shape the ocean basins and their margins. Topics covered includes:
Seafloor Mapping, Understanding Conductive Cooling, Cooling of the Ocean Plates,
Evidence for Plate Tectonics from Magnetics, Global Seismology, Mantle Melting
and Phase Diagrams, Mid-Ocean Ridge Segmentation, Subduction Zones, Seismic
Hazards in the Pacific Northwest, Passive Margins and Sediment Transport,
Sequence Stratigraphy and Eustacy, Deep Sea Sedimentation and Paleoceanography.
