Class Schedule and Reading (files and Lecture Note Downloads are on Laulima):

ERTH607 - Submarine Volcanoes A course that explores various aspects of volcanic activity in the deep ocean and its effect on the surrounding environment. Fall 2018 - visit the course web page and/or download the course syllabus
NOTE: the lecture content is subject to slight shifts and changes (i.e., it will evolve during the semester). also, if you download files way in advance, check back the day before class to see if I've posted more recent versions

Lecture/presentation notes for registered participants are downloadable from the course page on Laulima
