GEOL384.3 and GEOL334.3 Labs

Lab instructor:

Mark Lepitzki: mark.lepitzki@usask.ca

Mark may not be available for some labs, which will then be conducted by me


Labs consist of several experiments conducted in classroom Geol 265 and in or around Geology building, and also in simple analysis of the collected data. Data analysis can be performed by using Excel software. For GEOL334, the use of Matlab or Octave is highly recommended.

All assignments are due by 'lab' times shown below the following week. Late assignments will lose 15% of their original value every week they are late. Completed assignments will be expected to be delivered by email to Mark or me.

In the table below, I give the lab assignments and data collected during previous years. The assignment texts are currently from the previous year, and I will update them prior to the lab times.
