EAS 539 - Isotope Geology: Radioactive Systems

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Theory and systematics of radioactive decay, geochronology and isotopic tracing U-Pb, Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, Re-Os and other radioisotope systems. Applications of natural radioactive isotope variation to a variety of problems spanning low and high temperature geologic processes. [Faculty of Science]

EAS 547 - Methods and Instrumentation in Geology

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Processing and analysis of geochemical data, and selected analytical techniques such as: inductively-coupled-plasma mass-spectrometry (ICP-MS), secondary-ion mass-spectrometry (SIMS), and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), or other geochemical instrumental methods as determined by the instructor. Prerequisites: An undergraduate or graduate degree in the Earth Sciences; or consent of the instructor. [Faculty of Science]

EAS 333 - Advanced Geology Field School

3 units (fi 6)(SECOND, VARIABLE)

Advanced field practice in geology. Details and areas of study may vary from year to year. Consult the department about current offerings and timing. Topics vary, and will include the study and mapping of deformed sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks, mineral deposits and their associated host rocks and alteration, and structures in the field. May be taken more than once for credit provided no topic is repeated. Co-prerequisites: EAS 233, 234 or 237, 331 and 332. Requires payment of additional student instructional support fees. Refer to the Tuition and Fees page in the University Regulations section of the Calendar. [Faculty of Science]
