The Geology Department has a standard format we ask you ... http://geology.stlawu.edu/uncategorized http://geology.stlawu.edu/uncategorized FISCHERPLOTS Fischer plots are plots of accommodation (derived by calculating cumulative departure from mean cycle thickness) versus cycle number or stratigraphic distance (proxies for time), for “cyclic” carbonate platforms. The plots can be used to derive periods of increased accommodation, shown on the plots as a rising limb (which commonly matches ... http://geology.stlawu.edu/faculty/husinec-antun The Geology Department has an impressive array of lab and field equipment, including XRD and XRF units, a scanning electron microscope, and extensive map, mineral, rock, and fossil collections.

The XRF is used primarily for major and trace element analyses of inorganic substances such as soils, sediments rocks and some fluids. The XRD is used to determine the phases ... http://geology.stlawu.edu/uncategorized The Geology Department operates an ISI-SIIA Scanning Electron Microscope for use in instances in which fossil and mineral specimens are being examined in the range of 1000X to 15,000X, which is a range most often used by geologists.  The large specimen chamber can handle specimens of 10 cm or more ... http://geology.stlawu.edu/uncategorized GEOL 103 Dynamic Earth GEOL 147 Oceanography (Spring 2008 Syllabus in PDF) GEOL 216 Sedimentology (Fall 2007 Syllabus in PDF) GEOL 247 Paleoclimatology GEOL 347 Carbonate Sedimentology with the Bahamas Field Trip (Spring 2008 Syllabus in PDF) I have also taught Paleontology course for geology majors, and an advanced graduate course in Paleoclimate & Carbonate Platforms. http://geology.stlawu.edu/faculty/husinec-antun I joined the Geology Department at St. Lawrence University in 2007, after serving as a Research Scientist at the Croatian Geological Survey and a visiting stint at Zagreb University. At St. Lawrence I teach courses in Sedimentology, Carbonate Sedimentology, Oceanography, and Dynamic Earth.
