GEOL384.3 and GEOL334.3 Labs

Lab instructor:

Yifan Cheng (volunteer TA) pvb429@mail.usask.ca


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 on the following week shown below . 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 the TA.

Because of two Mondays being lost due to holidays in this term, two gravity-data analysis labs (#2 and #3) will be conducted as take-home exercises during the holiday weeks.
