GEOLOGY AND PALEONTOLOGY :!()!)
Nature and origin of the physiographic features of the earth. Geologic
processes im'olved in their development. Use of physiogrnphy in
elucidating the later geologic history of regions.
Instructor: Buwalda.
Ge. 187. RESEARCH.
Original investigation; designed to give training in methods of research,
to serve as theses problems for higher degrees, and to yield
contributions to scientific knowledge. These may at present be most
advantageously carried on in the fields of (n) general areal geology,
(0) stratigraphic geology, (p) structural geology, (q) physiography or
geomorphology, (r) mineralogy and petrology, (s) vertebrate paleontology,
(t) invertebrate paleontology, (u) seismology, (v) economic
g·eology. Regions within easy reach of Pasndena offer an extraordinary
\'ariety of research problems.
