EAPS 47 Field Methods: Cold Regions Processes

Field-based study of processes active in the Earth’s cold regions, both past and present. The integrated use of field observations with various geophysical, geomorphic, geochemical, geochronological, and geobiological techniques is applied to interpret the ancient and modern cryosphere, including everything from Snowball Earth to Quaternary and modern glaciation. Because of the nature of this course, class meetings, assignments, readings, and reports are scheduled irregularly.

Prerequisite

Acceptance into the Earth Sciences FSP is required. Refer to the Guarini Institute website for program/course prerequisites.

The Courses@Dartmouth contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
