You are encouraged to think more broadly than simply reviewing the literature Ideally the topic is not oneĬovered in class because during the scheduled exam period you will presentĪn overview of your term project to the class (3 minutes allowed, only). The term project should address some topic or issue in geodynamics. Michael Manga (3-8532), McCone 381, office hours Fridays 3-5 (shared with EPS 24 Felipe Orellana The course will follow the structure of Turcotte and Schubert quite closely. These other 5 books are on reserve in the Earth Science library (Mantle Convection), Davies (Dynamic Earth), Jaupart and Mareschal (Heat Generation and Transport in Earth), Watts (Isostasy and flexure of the lithosphere), and Cox and Hart (Plate tectonics, How it works). There are probably lots of used versions of the 2nd edition floating around and it is much less expensive. The second edition is a fine substitute, but it will not include the matlab-based questions and chapters. University Press, 2013 (prices on are $89.33 for the paperback edition).

Three quarters of the lecture periods will be used for covering class material via lectures.
