Lecture notes
Lecture notes: The PowerPoint slides from all lectures will be posted here as pdf files. The best use of these notes is to bring them to class so you can annotate the slides during lectures.
Assigned reading: Most of the reading is from the class textbook: Fowler, "The Solid Earth" 2nd edition. Readings from Fowler will not be posted, you should buy the book. Other readings are posted on the
readings page.
