EARTH 440 - Quaternary Geology

An introduction to the major topics of Quaternary geology with an emphasis on 1) the framework of the Quaternary Period, 2) the regional glacial geology and the geologic processes pertaining to glacial environments, 3) the methods to study the past 2.6 million years (e.g., isotope stratigraphy, geochronology), 4) Glacial-interglacial cycles, 5) applications of Quaternary geology (e.g., mineral exploration, geohazards, climate change, and water resources).
