change, past and present, including the impact of climate changes on earth systems, and the disproportionate impact these changes will have on communities around the globe. Prerequisite: ESCI 201. (4) ESCI 345 : Tectonic Petrology This class introduces igneous and metamorphic petrology by following rock compositions through several tectonic processes to see how petrology can be used to better understand large-scale tectonics. Students will interpret rock samples and 8 datasets to produce a

textural relationship with bytownite was found within the containing rock suggesting a metamorphic process up to greenschist facies. Veining texture within the permineralized wood, metamorphic minerals, and an increased bulk composition of CaCO3 suggest possible hydrothermal alteration. USGS map does not correctly identify the lithological unit at this location.View Max-Henry's poster here.

Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from Washington State University. He went on to pursue a Master of Science and a PhD in Geology from Indiana University, where he studied carbonate petrology and calcareous algae in the Florida Keys. Prior to coming to PLU, Steve taught at Ball State University in Muncie Indiana, the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the University of Missouri, in Kansas City, Missouri. He also worked in the exploration and mining industry, specifically in

his expertise, he arranged a collaborative relationship with the University of Puget Sound that allowed PLU students to take courses to complete their geology major. Brian has traditionally taught the fundamental upper division ‘hard rock’ courses in Petrology, Optical Mineralogy, Structural Geology, Mapping, and Geologic Field Mapping. He is noted for teaching with great enthusiasm and is legendary for his hand-drawn complex multicolored classroom illustrations. He is committed to rigor and
