GEO 1000: Natural Disasters
GEO 1000 Natural Disasters: Fall 2011
CLASSES: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:45 – 12:05, WEB L103
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, meteorite impacts, and global climate change are among the natural disasters that can devastate civilizations and alter the course of world history. This course explores the physical causes, effects and social consequences of such events. Several recent natural disasters are examined in depth to analyze the processes responsible for them and how that understanding translates into public policy and governmental response, for better or worse.
PICP I: Petroleum Geology
Both classical and modern investigative methods are employed in detailed dissection of (1) petroleum sources (2) large-scaled reservoirs and (3) traps (seals). Further energies will be directed to detailed examination of reservoirs concerning various pore systems, and to utilization of diverse subsurface methods. Course will also reveal the necessity of multiple investigative techniques as imperative for accurate problem solving. Field trip and occasional visits by industry experts are an integral part of course curriculum. This "applied" course will also deal with some business and engineering aspects of hydrocarbon exploration.
