课程编码：1801010708I0P1001Y 英文名称：Introduction to Geodynamics 课时：72 学分：3.50 课程属性：学科核心课 主讲教师：王世民

This course will introduce the field of geodynamics, the study of dynamical processes of the solid Earth. As such, it is rooted in fundamental physics and highly interdisciplinary. Mathematics is the central tool used to apply physical theories and create predictive models of the Earth. Geodynamics provides the quantitative foundation for the theory of Plate Tectonics, the basic organizing paradigm for our understanding of the solid Earth.
