CLASSES TAUGHT: Crises of a Planet – GEOL108. Explores the impact of Earth's natural evolution on civilization and the impact of our growing population on Earth's ecosystems and resources. This course looks at forms of planetary instability-from floods to earthquakes to landslides-and examines what occurs when we fail to understand what is natural. Earthquakes – GEOL240. Causes of earthquakes and nature of large faults; earthquake hazard and risk; world's great earthquakes; understanding the magnitude scales. Geosystems – GEOL405. (with Profs. Jordan, Hammond, and Stott). Geosystems, such as mantle convection, active faults, climate, and the carbon cycle, will be studied using numerical models and concepts such as chaos, universality, emergence, and intermittency.
June 17, 2016 12 Maymester in Morocco: Field Geology – GEOL465. The goal of this course is to explore the tectonic evolution of Morocco from the use of modern passive source seismological data. The course will provide seismological field experience to upper level undergraduates students in an international setting with integration of structural geology and tectonics. Introduction to Seismology – GEOL551. Basic elements of seismology for the study of Earth’s interior and the tectonic process, utilizing observations of seismic waves. Advanced Seismology – GEOL552. Advanced methods of theoretical seismology for studying the generation of seismic waves from natural and artificial sources and the propagation through realistic Earth models. Arc-Continent Collision – GEOL599. Graduate seminar focusing on a discussion of arc-continent collision as one of the primary tectonic processes in the formation of mountain belts, growth of continental crust, and recycling of material into the deep Earth. Structural Seismology – GEOL599. Exploration of current research and methodologies used in structural seismology to study the Earth’s interior. The classes will alternate between lectures that focus on a specific method or technique and specific areas of research with discussions focusing on application of these methods or topics. Subduction – GEOL599. Graduate seminar focusing on geodynamic modeling and structural seismology of subduction zones, and, more importantly, identify a few new avenues how we can make progress on subduction science, both from a fundamental level, and in terms of understanding the dynamics of data-rich "natural laboratories" EarthScope/USArray Data Processing and Analysis Short Course – (held at Northwestern University annually). The primary goal of this short course is to provide training to a new generation of young scientists in the foundations of robust methods in seismic data processing and in developing more effective ways to handle data from large seismic arrays, such as USArray. Theory and Application of S Receiver Functions Short Course – (held at INGV Roma). This short course was a “hands on” tutorial based course on how to analyze broadband seismic data in SAC format to produce S receiver functions using a Matlab based code.
