| Message |
In this course, students will learn about the Earth's dynamics through the study of minerals in the Earth's interior, microscopic roch/mineral science, macroscopic rock convection, and numerical simulations. You are expected to understand the aspects of the Earth's dynamics from the viewpoint of different research fields. |
