EPSC551: Crustal RheologyThis course covers a range of topics in rock deformation and structural geology, with an emphasis on short- and long- term deformation of the crust, the earthquake cycle, introduction to rheologic models and the development of the crustal strength curve. It is offered every few years or by request of the students. The course is designed for U3 undergraduate students, grad students and postdocs who have a solid foundation in structural geology and tectonics or related fields, but assigned work is very flexible to accomodate different levels of expertise and background preparation. In 2014 and 2019 the course included field trips and team research projects. The 2014 class project has led to one publication (Rowe et al. 2018 in Journal of Geophysical Research). |
EPSC240: Geology in the FieldThis course is designed for U0/U1 students with no prior experience in geology, and students from neighboring fields (environmental, engineering, archaeology, anthropology, ecology, etc...) who would like some practice in field observations and understanding geologic maps. The course also forms a point of entry to the major in Geology and other major and minor programs in the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department. Most of the labs are outdoors (Wednesdays 13:00-17:00) and there are two full-day trips. Students with disabilities are welcome and encouraged to contact me as early as possible to confirm needs and accommodations. For more information consult the Web site for Geology in the Field (fall 2019) |
EPSC231: Field School Iand EPSC645: Tectonics in the Field Field School 1 is the first major (2 week) mapping school taken by Geology students and students in related programs (e.g. geochemistry, planetary stream, geophysics). Since 2015 the course has been given in Nevada/California. In 2019 a graduate course was added in recognition that many graduate students enter our program without adequate experience in geologic mapping. Graduate students enrolled in EPSC645 engage in a somewhat customized program that includes mapping along with the undergrads or more challenging projects as appropriate to the individual's needs. Graduate students will also engage in more detailed pre-trip study of the Phanerozoic history of the southwest US and will prepare a presentation on a field locality to be delivered in the field. All students will participate in a one-day "boot camp" to refresh some field skills immediately prior to departing for Las Vegas. Details of the 2019 course are displayed on the course website, soon to be updated for 2020.

EPSC203: Structural GeologyThis foundational class is required for the Earth Sciences majors at McGill and is usually taught in Winter semester.Visit the course website for more information. Contact me with any questions: christie.rowe[at]mcgill.ca |
EPSC550: Physics and Geology of EarthquakesThis course, for graduate students and motivated undergraduates, is offered occasionally (let us know if you want it!) In 2013 it was co-taught by Yajing Liu and Christie Rowe. This class will give you an introduction to the wide world of earthquakes and the methods used to study them. Fundamental mechanics of faulting and earthquakes will be explored from theoretical, observational and numerical perspectives. |
