Class Details
Many of the materials in our daily lives–plastics, hydrocarbon fuels, building materials, sheet metals, electrical components, etc.– are won from the earth by finding and mining economic mineral resources. We will study how these deposits form and how they can be found. In this course we will integrate across several areas of the geosciences as we investigate the relationships between Earth history, plate tectonics, geochemistry, and the production of minable deposits. We will also consider the environmental aspects of mineral exploitation and the production and fate of pollutants.
