Description:

K. Harpp The focus of this interdisciplinary laboratory and field-based course is the development of practical skills essential to the study of natural systems. Through a series of local projects, students learn how to address environmental questions, including experimental design, collection and analysis of samples, interpretation of data, and presentation of conclusions. Specific skills include techniques for the chemical analysis of natural materials including rock, soil, and water (e.g., atomic, ultraviolet, and x-ray spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, wet chemistry techniques), statistical analysis, sample collection, and methods of data presentation. Laboratory and lecture are fully integrated and meet twice a week. Occasional day-long sampling and field trips. The required credit-bearing laboratory session GEOL 203L must be taken and passed concurrently with GEOL 203. Prerequisite: CHEM 101 or permission of instructor.
