course
is
designed
for
geology
majors.
It
provides
a
relatively
rigorous
and
homework-intensive
overview
of
the
structure
and
evolution
of
the
Earth
and
terrestrial
planets,
at
a
level
higher
than
a
descriptive
geology
class,
but
lower
than
the
standard
introduction
to
geophysics
for
seniors
or
first

graduate
students.
