21 - 30 of 36 results for: GEOPHYS

GEOPHYS 290: Tectonophysics & Global Tectonics (GEOPHYS 186)

The physics of faulting and plate tectonics. Topics: plate driving forces, lithospheric rheology, crustal faulting, and the state of stress in the lithosphere. Exercises: lithospheric temperature and strength profiles, calculation of seismic strain from summation of earthquake moment tensors, slip on faults in 3D, and stress triggering and inversion of stress from earthquake focal mechanisms. Offered every other year, winter quarter. This course is offered in 2014-15 instead of Geophys 170/220.
