SEMINAR IN TECTONOPHYSICS

When continents stretch and rift, magmas rise from the mantle, leading to widespread volcanism.
This seminar explores:
• how mantle temperature, water content and decompression drive magma formation
• the role of the lithosphere
• temporal and spatial relationship between volcanism and extension
• the importance of pre-existing structures and tectonic history
• the interactions with asthenosphere flow or plumes
• how magma ascends through the crust and erupts in extending regions
The course will include both fundamental concepts, and examples from the Western US, East Africa and Southwest Pacific back-arc basins, focusing on observational geology, petrology, geophysics, and geodynamic models.

PRACTICAL REASON

This course will explore the nature and significance of our capacity for practical reason, focusing on a variety of questions: What we should want from a philosophical account of practical reason (should it be descriptive or normative, for example)? Are reasons causes? What does practical reason require? What is the relation between rationality and morality? How can practical reasoning fail? We will pursue these and related questions through a variety of historical and contemporary texts.
