GEOL 460: Structural and Engineering Geology

Course Description

GEOL 460/560 is the application of structural geology and stratigraphy to the practice of geology and civil engineering. Emphasis is placed on the application of geologic analysis to facilitate the understanding of dynamic Earth processes such as faulting and folding as well as the successful completion of engineering projects. Case histories will be used to evaluate how geologic knowledge has been used in both successful and unsuccessful engineering projects. (AY, W).
