Ge 136c Section 2: Spring 2013 class
Cenozoic Tectonics and Sedimentation of the Western Mojave Desert
Course Description -
This course is being offered in Spring 2013. The class involves a 3 day field trip to localities in the Western Mojave Desert of California.
Each student is expected to read background material prior to the field trip (see link to the References on the left side panel) and prepare a presentation (including handouts) to give on the trip. We will have weekly reading group meetings before and after the trip.
The field trip dates are April 5 to 7.
