523 Planetary Geologic Mapping for Students
The purpose of this course is to complement traditional field and geologic mapping curriculum for undergraduate and graduate students interested in planetary mapping techniques. Hands-on exercises will use remotely-sensed data from spacecraft to illustrate first order mapping principles including identification of linear features and selection of appropriate mapping units. Cross-cutting relationships and stratigraphic context of deposits will be used to interpret geologic processes operating on other rocky bodies in the solar system. All mapping materials will be provided, and both undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to enroll. Prerequisite planetary geology or geologic mapping classes are not required.
