Notes on This Site
This site was created to be used as a study guide by students enrolled in the course.
It contains the following materials:
1) The course syllabus
2) Links to other energy related sites
3) A glossary of terms related to the Geology of Energy Resources.
4) Lecture presentations which consist of copies of slides (without the interactivity)
that were created using Astound (Gold Disk). I've added brief descriptions to some
of the slides. I'm working on descriptions for the remainder of the slides and will
add them in the future. Warning:
The lecture presentation files are large (100 to 400K) and may take a minute or two
to download if you are using a modem.
5) A bulletin board, for class announcements and a place for students to ask questions
or make comments.
