But we found something disturbing... I have the student handbook and catalog for 2008-2009 and a few days ago I went through and looked at all the classes that are required, options and looked interesting and threw together a little outline of when then are offered. Turns out the catalog is WRONG! For about 1/2 of the geophysics classes they have the wrong times that they are offered, so I have my classes for next semester, but beyond that is a question mark. <br/>Looks like I will be taking<br/>Tectonic Geodesy <br/>Intermediate Seismology<br/>and Introduction to Complex Analysis (Math)<br/><br/>Another thing we talked about is my committee. I have my adviser, seismologist, was thinking about Jeff who is also in my office and who is very familiar with the GPS data set in the area I am going to be working and I was thinking about getting s structural geologist just to have a geology perspective on the interpretations from my seismic data to make sure it makes sense. And I am thinking I should have another seismologist too, so I have someone else I can go ask for help when my adviser isn't there. <br/><br/>I think I am going to mess with the other data set on my computer and try to get somethings plotted so I can move onto something else soon! <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> <div class="post-footer"> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"> <span class="post-author vcard"> Posted by <span class="fn" itemprop="author" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <span itemprop="name">Anna</span> </span> </span> <span class="post-timestamp"> at <meta content="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/http://thrustacline.blogspot.com/2008/10/grad-school-grad-school.html" itemprop="url"/> <a class="timestamp-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://thrustacline.blogspot.com/2008/10/grad-school-grad-school.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" itemprop="datePublished" title="2008-10-30T14:26:00-07:00">2:26&#8239;PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class="post-comment-link"> <a class="comment-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=5555559115347561562" onclick=""> No comments: </a> </span> <span class="post-icons"> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1597624535"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=5555559115347561562&amp;from=pencil" title="Edit Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="18" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158im_/https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> </span> <div class="post-share-buttons goog-inline-block"> <a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-email" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=5555559115347561562&amp;target=email" target="_blank" title="Email This"><span class="share-button-link-text">Email This</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=5555559115347561562&amp;target=blog" onclick="window.open(this.href, &quot;_blank&quot;, &quot;height=270,width=475&quot;); return false;" target="_blank" title="BlogThis!"><span class="share-button-link-text">BlogThis!</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=5555559115347561562&amp;target=twitter" target="_blank" title="Share to Twitter"><span class="share-button-link-text">Share to Twitter</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=5555559115347561562&amp;target=facebook" onclick="window.open(this.href, &quot;_blank&quot;, &quot;height=430,width=640&quot;); return false;" target="_blank" title="Share to Facebook"><span class="share-button-link-text">Share to Facebook</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=5555559115347561562&amp;target=pinterest" target="_blank" title="Share to Pinterest"><span class="share-button-link-text">Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-2"> <span class="post-labels"> Labels: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://thrustacline.blogspot.com/search/label/grad%20school%20academia%20geology%20masters" rel="tag">grad school academia geology masters</a> </span> </div> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-3"> <span class="post-location"> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class="date-header"><span>Tuesday, October 28, 2008</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class="post-outer"> <div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting"> <meta content="8774555105590352481" itemprop="blogId"/> <meta content="936330144515930917" itemprop="postId"/> <a name="936330144515930917"></a> <h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://thrustacline.blogspot.com/2008/10/b-values.html">b values</a> </h3> <div class="post-header"> <div class="post-header-line-1"></div> </div> <div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-936330144515930917" itemprop="description articleBody"> Now you might be asking what the hell is b value?

There is snow on the ground and its cold outside... my computer says its 12 right now and going to be a whole 22 tomorrow. <br/><br/>I am enjoying grad school even if my math class is... well... frustrating. Differential equations itself isn't that bad, I am just not doing will with the teacher, but that's life, better luck next time! <br/><br/>Seminar in Geophysics is cool, but I still haven't decided what paper I am going to present... <br/><br/>Seminar in Petroleum is a nice way to get familiar with petroleum basics and basin geometries and not have to take a very time intensive start from the basics class. I nice way to look at a little geology and a little engineering. <br/><br/>Global Tectonics - interesting, very interesting. Cross sections though... I had a bad day with my cross section and I don't want to talk about it really. I like the class though. <br/><br/>aaannnd that's what I am taking. I moved into the condo we bought and its ALMOST clean enough to take pictures.

In order to look at the mechanism of plate tectonics you need to know the structure of the earth. Okay now there are different ways to look at it, but I am going to try and take a lot of the jargon out of it. I am sure you have heard of the crust and the mantle. Those are differences based on composition but that&#8217;s not what we are going to be looking at and working with. First the favorite word to describe this way of splitting up the earth is rheology. Rheology is basically the way in which things deform. Think if it like if you were to push down with a finger on a cracker, jello, or some water. The cracker would break and crack, it would respond to that pressure in a brittle way, by faulting! The Jello would ooze out of the way, it&#8217;s not the best representative for plastic but, present it doesn&#8217;t bounce back, okay think of gak. Okay so the crust and the top part of the mantle break and fracture, deeper it flows a little more but overall once you get into a lot of plastic movement you are into the part of the mantle with another name. Ok so I don&#8217;t know how to get around these terms but the crust and upper mantle are the lithosphere and the mantle that is flowing is the asthenosphere. <br/><br/>Okay so you have the divisions in the earth, now we are on to how the plates move. You do know that you live on a plate right? The mashed potatoes are right over there, don&#8217;t you see them? Hehehe. Okay so you have these plates that are a little denser than the asthenosphere. Now you would think that then they would sink, flat out. But they are floating slightly, so this colder denser layer that includes the crust gets densest on the edges of the oceanic plates. Oceanic crust is all basalt and denser than continental, and in fact the only thing that WILL subduct. So you have this old dense oceanic crust and the edge starts to sink. Now the asthenosphere has to get out of the way for it to sink and it can&#8217;t move very quickly so this acts as a force against the sinking but not as large of a force as the one pulling the plate down. So this plate is sinking into the asthenosphere and as it sinks it pulls on the rest of the plate and pulls it down. Sometimes it starts to go down at a steeper angle and starts to pull back and push the asthenosphere behind it out of the way. This creates suction and pulls the plate above it that it is subducting against towards it. This creates stretching in the overriding plate and can lead to rifting or a break through of the asthenosphere behind the volcanic arc. You can see this in the western pacific. <br/><br/>Up until this point what I have been taught is that yes this is one of the forces driving plate tectonics but there is also mantle convection. But if you start to look at the forces and velocities required to move these plates with mantle convection they get too big. Also here is a good thought experiment. If you have a big honking continent sitting there in the middle of a plate that has oceanic crust on either side then you have this dip into the astheopshere. If you are driving that motion with mantle convection then that should act like a sail and propel that plate. But if you look at a graph of % continent vs. velocities, you see that, there is no such correlation of movement and amount of continent. There are several other diagrams like this that can be used to disprove mantle convection as the main driving force of plate tectonics but I feel that this one is the most telling. Also if you look at absolute velocities of plates against percentage subduction zone there is a correlation between more subduction zone boundaries and faster plate movement. This is the most telling one for the slab pull. <br/><br/>Like I said I have been of the school of thought that its kind of a combination but this argument using stress regimes force diagrams and relationships has never been presented to me. I had a &#8220;AH HA&#8221; moment and I really wanted to share this. I will most likely add more to this post as I have time, and find good references. <br/><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br/>Fun idea: in order to show you how a plate sinks from one side, Wes my structure teacher said this can be seen in a bath with a dry washcloth. Place the dry washcloth on the surface of the water and watch one side slide in first. I am going to test this tonight. You know study me some geology. Geology is fun!</span><br/><br/>References: <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> <div class="post-footer"> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"> <span class="post-author vcard"> Posted by <span class="fn" itemprop="author" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <span itemprop="name">Anna</span> </span> </span> <span class="post-timestamp"> at <meta content="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/http://thrustacline.blogspot.com/2008/10/mechanics-of-plate-tectonics-ah-ha.html" itemprop="url"/> <a class="timestamp-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://thrustacline.blogspot.com/2008/10/mechanics-of-plate-tectonics-ah-ha.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" itemprop="datePublished" title="2008-10-07T20:13:00-07:00">8:13&#8239;PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class="post-comment-link"> <a class="comment-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=4029488445688167041" onclick=""> No comments: </a> </span> <span class="post-icons"> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1597624535"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=4029488445688167041&amp;from=pencil" title="Edit Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="18" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158im_/https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> </span> <div class="post-share-buttons goog-inline-block"> <a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-email" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=4029488445688167041&amp;target=email" target="_blank" title="Email This"><span class="share-button-link-text">Email This</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=4029488445688167041&amp;target=blog" onclick="window.open(this.href, &quot;_blank&quot;, &quot;height=270,width=475&quot;); return false;" target="_blank" title="BlogThis!"><span class="share-button-link-text">BlogThis!</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=4029488445688167041&amp;target=twitter" target="_blank" title="Share to Twitter"><span class="share-button-link-text">Share to Twitter</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=4029488445688167041&amp;target=facebook" onclick="window.open(this.href, &quot;_blank&quot;, &quot;height=430,width=640&quot;); return false;" target="_blank" title="Share to Facebook"><span class="share-button-link-text">Share to Facebook</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=4029488445688167041&amp;target=pinterest" target="_blank" title="Share to Pinterest"><span class="share-button-link-text">Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-2"> <span class="post-labels"> </span> </div> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-3"> <span class="post-location"> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="post-outer"> <div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting"> <meta content="8774555105590352481" itemprop="blogId"/> <meta content="1542281642343590535" itemprop="postId"/> <a name="1542281642343590535"></a> <h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://thrustacline.blogspot.com/2008/10/mission-statement-of-sort-little-late.html">A mission statement of sort, a little late</a> </h3> <div class="post-header"> <div class="post-header-line-1"></div> </div> <div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-1542281642343590535" itemprop="description articleBody"> One of the reasons I love geology is how much everything you learn in class opens your eyes to the world around you. For the most part I feel, (and I know I am bias) that geology is the science that absolutely gives you an understanding of what happens around you. I know physics and chemistry and biology do too, but most of what surrounds us is rocks and dirt: the realm of geology.<br/><br/>There is always something new to learn as well, as was evident today, I learned new things about the mechanisms of plate tectonics. The challenge I find in science is taking the ideas learned in the class room and talking to other none geologist. In my favorite radio show they talk constantly about the importance of taking the ideas from the scientist with their jargon and bring it to everyone else. This is sort of how I see this blog evolving, into a space where I can practice the art of communicating these ideas to everyone else. Please let me know if there is anything that is confusing I would love to try and make it not confusing.<br/><br/>Being in grad school I feel that I getting an education in how to communicate with my fellow geologist and scientist but there is a lack of practice in communicating the same ideas with everyone else. Everyone should be able to understand the world around them. So that&#8217;s what I am going to do! Also every once in a while there are some fun little things you can do at home to show how things work and I will make sure to pass these on. <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> <div class="post-footer"> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"> <span class="post-author vcard"> Posted by <span class="fn" itemprop="author" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <span itemprop="name">Anna</span> </span> </span> <span class="post-timestamp"> at <meta content="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/http://thrustacline.blogspot.com/2008/10/mission-statement-of-sort-little-late.html" itemprop="url"/> <a class="timestamp-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://thrustacline.blogspot.com/2008/10/mission-statement-of-sort-little-late.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" itemprop="datePublished" title="2008-10-07T15:27:00-07:00">3:27&#8239;PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class="post-comment-link"> <a class="comment-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=1542281642343590535" onclick=""> No comments: </a> </span> <span class="post-icons"> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1597624535"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=1542281642343590535&amp;from=pencil" title="Edit Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="18" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158im_/https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> </span> <div class="post-share-buttons goog-inline-block"> <a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-email" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=1542281642343590535&amp;target=email" target="_blank" title="Email This"><span class="share-button-link-text">Email This</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231123010158/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=8774555105590352481&amp;postID=1542281642343590535&amp;target=blog" onclick="window.open(this.href, &quot;_blank&quot;, &quot;height=270,width=475&quot;);
