The transition from that website to this one is still in progress, and many links below may be dead because changes of URLs within the pages have not been completed. The old www.gly.uga.edu/railsback website still existed in its entirety as of 7 November 2018. The University of Georgia Department of Geology has a standard faculty page for Bruce Railsback. This page provides links to resources beyond those on the standard faculty page. General resources

Railsback's Courses Taught
Earth Processes and Environments - Physical Geology (Physical Geology for undergraduate non-majors and perhaps majors too).
Earth's History of Global Change (Historical Geology for undergraduate non-majors).
Sedimentary Petrology (formerly part of our Mineralogy-Petrology sequence for undergraduate Geology majors).
Alpine and Glacial Geology (taught in Innsbruck, Austria, in the UNO program in some summers).
Elementary Oceanography (a no-prequisite general survey of all marine sciences for undergraduates).
Petroleum Geology (a course for undergraduates who have taken at least one geology class and for graduate students).
Earth Surface Geochemistry (a graduate course examining natural waters, soils, sediments, and sedimentary rocks).
Carbonate Petrology (a graduate course on the petrology of limestones and dolostones).
Sandstone Petrology (a graduate course on sand, sandstones, porosity, permeability, and even a little petroleum geology).
