INT 187AW - The Formation, Fate, and Chemistry of Petroleum
Join us for a broad exploration of the geology and chemistry of the petroleum industry, as well as alternatives to petroleum. From rocks to factories to plastics and medicine, we will discuss the ways that petroleum is sourced and used. We will take in sights with a mandatory class field trip on February 20 to see natural tar seeps at Carponteria Bliffs and a leaky oil well at Towsley Canyon. At the end of the quarter, each student will prepare a short presentation about a topic of their choice that is relevant to our class discussions.
