Courses taught
EEPS 403
Seminar: Department Research
Introduction to current research in the Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences department. Students will learn how to give a presentation and will get experience presenting their research. Cross-list: EEPS 603. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for EEPS 403 if student has credit for EEPS 603. Repeatable for Credit.
EEPS 405
Sem:Current Research In Eeps
A series of lectures and paper discussions in various areas of Earth, Environmental and Planetary sciences. Cross-list: EEPS 605. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for EEPS 405 if student has credit for EEPS 605. Repeatable for Credit.
EEPS 473
Planetary Formation
This course introduces students to the state-of-the art knowledge about the processes underlying the formation and evolution of planetary systems. This course will review basic ideas of orbital planetary dynamics and the different stages of planet formation. The course aims at developing important quantitative and qualitative skills to analyze and understand the main physical processes that operate in young planetary systems. The course will be guided by modern planet formation models using different tools and constraints from planetary physics, celestial mechanics, astronomical-observations, geochemistry, and cosmochemistry. Cross-list: EEPS 673. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for EEPS 473 if student has credit for EEPS 673.
