http://www.eas.purdue.edu/physproc/about_physical_processes.htm
Prepared by Arvid M. Johnson, gotesson@purdue.edu What Is the Study of Physical Processes in Geology? Probably the greatest accomplishments in the field of geology have been in earth history . We do not have to enumerate the well-know accomplishments of working out sequences of earth events, sequences of appearances and disappearances of fossils, the evolution and movement of large, almost plate-like rock bodies that glide about beneath the oceans, and the remarkably accurate estimates of the enormous expanse of time, itself. Physical processes, though, have nothing to do with these accomplishments. It has to do with earth science Physical processes in geology is a branch of geology that concerns itself with understanding, sometimes remarkably completely, how mechanical geologic phenomena work. The study began, I think, in the late 1800's, with Grove Karl Gilbert, probably the greatest scientific geologist of all time, who figured out, among other things, what causes earthquakes (elastic rebound theory) , the essential features of basin-and-range structure, how pediments are formed, how laccolithic intrusions work and much about how sediment is transported in flumes. His work was admired but his approach to geology was largely ignored, except in the divergent field of geophysics of the interior of the earth, until I re-introduced the approach in my first textbook in 1970. Deanna sitting in our Ford (that piece of junk!) loaded for trip from Oregon to Pennsylvania in 1961. I could not pass up this nice fold in the Bighorn Mountains. It is still visible there. I began to understand this kind of folding only as I was writing Physical Processes, in the late 1960's.

was nothing like the book in the geological literature at that time; indeed, thebook introduced the field, which I called “physical processes in geology.”.
http://www.eas.purdue.edu/physproc/books.htm
Physical Processes I (Published illegally in Chinese in early 1980's) As a graduate student at Pennsylvania State University, under the tutelage of a couple of sedimentary geologists, P. D. Krynine and Eugene G. Williams, I began to sense the need for rigorous studies of physical processesnot the stories or fairy tales typically told by earth historians about how sediment is transported or how folds formrather, mathematical analysis of properly formulated theories of mechanical behavior. Gilbert touched on thermodynamics and notions of proportions, but he did not begin to tap the enormous power of applied mechanics that had already been developed by the middle and late 1800's in engineering. Thus when I arrived at Stanford in 1965 I began to teach a course and write a textbook for first-year geology graduate students, that would describe theories of the mechanical behavior of materials and apply the theories to geological problems. There was nothing like the book in the geological literature at that time; indeed, the book introduced the field, which I called “physical processes in geology.” The textbook also served as a plan for future research. During the thirty one years since the book was published I have had many students working on Ph.D. projects on various processes discussed so briefly in the textbook. Much of that work is the basis of this web page.

The Science of Earth Systems (SES) Option
The SES Option emphasizes a strong preparation in basic mathematics and sciences and an integrated approach to the study of the earth system including the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The aim is to prepare students for graduate study and careers across the broad spectrum of earth sciences required for successful understanding and management of our planet. The option provides a rigorous base of environmental science that strongly complements Cornell's programs in environmental and agricultural engineering. Students are required to take a second semester of chemistry, two semesters of biology, and ENGRD 201 (Physics and Chemistry of the Earth) as one of the Engineering Distribution courses. The option requires a set of three core courses , normally taken in the junior or senior years, which provide breadth and integration. An additional set of four intermediate to advanced courses are selected to provide depth and a degree of specialization. These courses permit the student to specialize in atmospheric, hydrologic or ocean sciences, biogeochemistry, environmental geophysics, an approved combination of these areas, or a combination with courses in economics, government, or education in preparation for careers in environmental law or management or K-12 education. The field requirements for the SES Option are summarized as follows. Chemistry 208 is required, and may be taken instead of Physics 214. ENGRD 201 (GEOL 201) is a required engineering distribution course. The Field Program includes BIO G 101/103-102/104 (or BIO G 109-110), the three SES core courses listed below, four additional courses selected with the advisor's approval to provide specialization in one or a combination of the areas covered by SES, and four other field-approved electives. Two of the specialization courses will count as field- required courses, and two as field-approved electives. At least three of the field-approved electives must be non-GEOL courses. The four

Continental Terraces Hold Clues to the Generation and Preservation of the Stratigraphic Record
Permission is hereby granted to journalists to use this material so long as credit is given, and to teachers to use this material in classrooms. Multiple frequency, overlapping geometry, or "nested," seismic images offer an unprecedented opportunity to study how geological processes create and preserve shelf/slope stratigraphy. Multifrequency seismic coverage, including multibeam backscatter/swath bathymetry ( Figure 1 ), has been collected at two continental margin "natural laboratories," New Jersey and northern California, which are each characterized by distinctive suites of depositional processes. years. Preliminary results suggest that geologic events, like large storms, leave recognizable deposits on continental shelves, cross-shelf sediment transport occurs via channelized drainage at all seismically recognizable scales, and two- and three-dimensional models tied to process inputs effectively reproduce observed seismic geometries. The New Jersey margin ( Figure 1 ), although now relatively quiescent, contains a well-developed sequence stratigraphy in which late Paleogene-Neogene sea level variations are recorded. In addition to an extensive seismic database, holes have been drilled and logged both onshore and offshore. Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 174A will drill on the New Jersey shelf in mid-1997 to continue a sea level transect begun by ODP Legs 150 and 150X. In contrast to New Jersey, northern California is undergoing rapid sedimentation. There, voluminous, fluvial sedimentation is punctuated by floods and modulated by storms. Investigators in California recently completed detailed, high-resolution multichannel seismic (mcs) profiling offshore to augment lower frequency mcs profiles collected by industry and single-channel profiles collected by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Understanding Earthquake Processes Keyword : Fault dynamics Non-Technical Summary Earthquakes occur when broken rock of faults suddenly fails. This failure is believed to be proceeded by gradual deformation. Our objective has been to understand the grain scale physics of both slow sliding before earthquakes and rapid sliding after earthquakes. To do this, we have related empirical theories that represent the behavior of fault materials in the laboratory to theories developed in material science. This has allowed us to unify several previously separate theories. We are now able to represent fault behavior through the complete earthquake cycle in a self-consistent manner. We are also able to represent the effects of changes in the direction of sliding of faults on friction. This permits study of the physics of the complete earthquake cycle.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 5, 2001 NEWS MEDIA CONTACTS:
Deborah Hill, 208-526-4723, dahill@inel.gov
Teri Ehresman, 208-526-7785, ehr@inel.gov INEEL requests design proposals for new Subsurface Geosciences Laboratory After months of identifying science needs and technical requirements, the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) is requesting architectural design proposals for the planned Subsurface Geosciences Laboratory.
The Subsurface Geosciences Laboratory (SGL) at an estimated total project cost of $140 million to $170 million, will offer unique research capabilities needed to address the Department of Energy’s environmental missions. The new facility will enable researchers to advance the fundamental understanding of biological, geological, chemical, and physical processes that affect contaminant behavior in the subsurface. INEEL plans to select the architects for conceptual design in June 2001.
The planned SGL will be an approximately 200,000-square-foot research laboratory in Idaho Falls. SGL will be a “user facility” available to the broad scientific community for research and technology development. The facility will house state-of-the-art analytical laboratory capabilities, a 5.5-meter geocentrifuge, and specialized, large soil tanks for meso-scale experiments to study contaminant movement in heterogeneous rock and sediment samples larger than a cubic meter. Meso-scale experiments are large enough to mimic real-world biological, geological and physical processes in a controlled laboratory setting. The SGL will help researchers to bridge the knowledge gap between very small laboratory scale experiments, and observations from the field.
