Geology 1330 Class Notes

Click on the topic below to open up a copy of abbreviated class notes. Additional topics will be added as they are ready. These notes are largely derived from the text slides shown in the lecture, and should not be considered as representative of all the material covered in lecture or material to be covered on hourly tests.

You may print a copy of these notes directly from your browser. Alternatively, you can "select all" of the text and copy it to be pasted in a word processing program of your choice (e.g. Microsoft Word). The notes can then be edited, modified, etc. It would be particularly useful if you would print out the notes and bring them to class!

 WARNING: Do not print all the notes at once, as I will be modifying them throughout the semester. My best advice is to print the notes just before class!
