Update Seminars (Internal Only) Overview of Graduate Programs The Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) of the University of Rhode Island offers instruction leading to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) , the Master of Science (MS) and the Master of Oceanography (MO) degrees in the classical areas of oceanography - biological, chemical, geological, and physical - as well as in interdisciplinary and related areas such as atmospheric chemistry. Students in the MS and PhD programs typically concentrate in one of these four curricular areas, and the courses and requirements differ among them. Those students who are interested in the MS or PhD degree programs at GSO should see the discipline-specific curricular information via the provided links. The MO program is a new non-thesis degree for those students/professionals interested in a non-research career in oceanogaphy.

42. ABOUT was nothing like the book in the geological literature at that time; indeed, thebook introduced the field, which I called “physical processes in geology http://www.eas.purdue.edu/physproc/HTM Files/about_physical_processes.htm

Prepared by Arvid M. Johnson, gotesson@purdue.edu What Is the Study of Physical Processes in Geology? Probably the greatest accomplishments in the field of geology have been in earth history . We do not have to enumerate the well-know accomplishments of working out sequences of earth events, sequences of appearances and disappearances of fossils, the evolution and movement of large, almost plate-like rock bodies that glide about beneath the oceans, and the remarkably accurate estimates of the enormous expanse of time, itself. Physical processes, though, have nothing to do with these accomplishments. It has to do with earth science Physical processes in geology is a branch of geology that concerns itself with understanding, sometimes remarkably completely, how mechanical geologic phenomena work. The study began, I think, in the late 1800's, with Grove Karl Gilbert, probably the greatest scientific geologist of all time, who figured out, among other things, what causes earthquakes (elastic rebound theory) , the essential features of basin-and-range structure, how pediments are formed, how laccolithic intrusions work and much about how sediment is transported in flumes. His work was admired but his approach to geology was largely ignored, except in the divergent field of geophysics of the interior of the earth, until I re-introduced the approach in my first textbook in 1970. Deanna sitting in our Ford (that piece of junk!) loaded for trip from Oregon to Pennsylvania in 1961. I could not pass up this nice fold in the Bighorn Mountains. It is still visible there. I began to understand this kind of folding only as I was writing Physical Processes, in the late 1960's.

Most students continue on to graduate study to obtain more specialized skills, and then on to universities, industry or government. The size of the Geological Science Department at Northwestern allows good working contacts among the faculty and students. Students are involved in the full range of departmental activities beyond classwork: research, field trips, seminars, and social functions. We encourage students with an interest in geological sciences to explore the opportunities that the department offers. THE CURRICULUM The geological sciences are a diverse and interdisciplinary field, unique in the treatment of complex physical and chemical systems in an historical perspective. The necessary background for interpreting geological history and explaining processes active within and upon the earth includes mathematics, chemistry, and physics.

You will learn why mountains form, and how they are eroded away. Courses will cover the processes operating on land, in the oceans and the atmosphere. The degree is taught jointly by Earth Sciences and Physical Geography staff, but is different from a joint degree because it is fully integrated. You will be taught by a mixture of lectures, field and laboratory classes, tutorials, and workshops. Our experiences show that Leeds graduates from courses in Physical Geography and Geological Sciences are in strong demand from a wide range of employers or go on to study further for Masters or PhD degrees.

EARTH SCIENCES Geology, Geochemistry and Mineralogy Involving an AASERT Student in Marine Geological and Geophysical STRATAFORM Studies Authors: Mountain, Gregory S.; LAMONT-DOHERTY EARTH OBSERVATORY PALISADES NY Abstract: The goal of STRATAFORM is to link short-term biological and physical processes affecting sedimentation ("event" stratigraphy" developed over hours to weeks) to the stratigraphic geometry and faces distribution of the upper 100 m of continental margin sediments representing 106 years of preserved record. Three groups of processes have been isolated for study by STRATAFORM investigators: 1) shelf sediment dynamics and the development of lithostratigraphy; 2) slope processes and their role in shaping geomorphology; and 3) stratigraphic sequence generation. Collecting high-resolution seismic reflection data is at the core of this third approach. All three are linked by the goal of determining how the morphology and faces patterns of the modern sea floor (revealed by multibeam bathymetry, backscatter data, and sampling of the shelf and slope) compare with the preserved geologic record observed in seismic images and sampled in the subsurface.

Graduate Study in the Geological Sciences The Department of Geological Sciences offers programs in geological sciences leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. The Department also offers programs in environmental geosciences leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The goal of the graduate programs in the Department of Geological Sciences is to develop creative and productive scientists who will address problems facing the modern environment and problems related to understanding the Earth's past and future. The Department's graduate programs emphasize the study of the biological, chemical, and physical processes of the Earth and the application of knowledge about these processes to solve applied and basic problems. The Department is focused around four research areas: 1) Global Paleoenvironments and Biological Evaluation, 2) Global Geochemical and Biogeochemical Cycles, 3) Fluids in and on the Earth, and 4) Dynamics of the Earth's Crust.

The site describes the igneous diabase of the Palisades Sill as being composed almost entirely of roughly equal amounts of dark pyroxene and lighter plagioclase feldspar. As it cooled it was subjected to tensional stress, which was relieved by vertical cracks several hundred feet long. These cracks formed the sill into polygonal columns that look like stockade poles, thus the name palisades.

Exploring the Structure and Evolution of the North American Continent What is EarthScope? Overview Scientific Rationale Anticipated Results ... Benefits and Applications What is EarthScope? EarthScope is a bold undertaking to apply modern observational, analytical and telecommunications technologies to investigate the structure and evolution of the North American continent and the physical processes controlling earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Overview Geological processes create the rich fabric of our landscape, from the ancient, eroded Appalachian Mountains to the younger, rugged Rockies and the volcanoes of the northwestern Cascades. Most of us rarely think about the forces that formed the majestic beauty of our national parks or produced our bountiful natural resources. Only when earthquakes rattle communities or volcanoes darken the skies are we jarred into considering the great Earth forces that fashion the terrain upon which we live, work and play. Global positioning satellite receivers, strainmeters and new satellite radar imagery will measure and map the smallest movements across faults, the magma movement inside active volcanoes and the very wide areas of deformation associated with plate tectonic motion. EarthScope will combine these geophysical measurements with data and observations from all disciplines of the Earth sciences, permitting enhanced analyses. Improved understanding of the structures and processes that affect our environment will translate into better hazards assessment, more precise estimates of natural resource potential and a deeper appreciation of connections between different aspects of our physical environment.
