- Useful reference books (posted 1/6/07). Here is a list of geochemistry books you may find useful.
- Revised schedule (posted 1-17-07). Our snowstorm has forced a change to the class schedule. I've pushed back everything by one day and taken out a lecture on Cosmochemistry.
- Revised schedule (posted 2-28-07). The early arrival of the kids has forced a change to the class schedule. I've pushed back the schedule and taken out the remaining lecture on Cosmochemistry.
- Presentation topics (posted 2-28-07). If you haven't already done so, you should decide on a presentation topic and list your topic on the sign-up sheet I bring to class. Student presentations will occur 3/14 and 3/16 as originally planned. You should limit your talk to about 14 minutes. With such a short amount of time available, it is better to focus on a more limited topic than a broad one.
- A copy of the answer key for Exam 2 was placed on my office door. It has an error: for Q3, the reaction should read 1 enstatite + 1 water + 2 carbonic acid = 2 bicarbonate + 1 silicic acid + 1 Mg (posted 3-17-07).
