Crustal Deformation and Fault Mechanics

Course Requirements in Crustal Deformation and Fault Mechanics

Note: it is the material that is required, not the course. If you have had the material elsewhere, at the same level, it satisfies the requirement.  You should choose from the recommended courses so that you satisfy the distribution requirements required by the Geophysics Department.
