GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES 2Il<br />
exposed and typical Coast Range structure may be seen; and to the Grand Canyon<br />
of the Colorado River where a fascinating record of Archean, Algonkian and<br />
Paleozoic geologic history may he investigated.<br />
Required of junior, senior, and graduate students in the Division of Geological<br />
Sciences.<br />
Instructors: Buwalda, Maxson, Bode.<br />
Ge. 123. Summer Field Geology. 12 units.<br />
Prerequisites: Ge.3 a, b, c; Ge. 21 a, b.<br />
Intensive field mapping of a selected area from a centrally located field camp.<br />
Determination of the stratigraphy, fossil content, structure, and geologic history.<br />
The area chosen will probably lie in the California Coast Ranges in odd-numbered<br />
years and in the Great Basin in even-numbered years. As an occasional alternative an<br />
expedition will be conducted to localities important in California geology. The<br />
interpretations of classical localities afforded in the literature will be studied in the<br />
field. The subject begins immediately after Commencement (about June 12th).<br />
Required at the end of both the Junior and the Senior year for the bachelor's degree<br />
in the Geology courle.<br />
Instructor: Bode.<br />
Ge. 175. Elementary Geophysics. 5 units (2-0-3); third term.<br />
A lurvey of pure and applied geophysics designed mainly for geological, engineering,<br />
and other students who do not expect to enroll in specialized subjects in this<br />
field.<br />
Instructor: Peterson.<br />
Ge. 176. Elementary Seismology. 6 units (3-0-3); first term, <strong>1941</strong>-1942.<br />
A survey of the geology and physics of earthquakes.<br />
Instructor: Richter.<br />
GRADUATE SUBJECTS<br />
Courses given in alternate yea,rs are so indicated. Courses in which the enrollment<br />
is less than five may, at the discretion of the instructor, be postponed.<br />

Ge. 202. Metalliferous Deposits. 10 units (2-6-2); second term.<br />
Prerequisites: Ge. 106, 200.<br />
A study of metalliferous deposits with respect to geographic distribution, structure,<br />
alteration, and mode of formation. The laboratory work will consist of a<br />
study of ore suites and altered rocks in hand specimens, polished and thin sections.<br />
