Institution:

Colorado College

Subject:

Description:

This course seeks to explore on an introductory and interdisciplinary level the geological and biological evolution of the earth, stressing the uniformitarian view of present and ancient habitats. These issues will be addressed by a study of present day ecological phenomena and the early fossil record which contain evidence for the emergence and diversification of the major phyla or marine invertebrates. We will explore ecological and paleoecological phenomena within the context of an outdoor field experience that will examine both rock outcrop and various modern riverain and terrestrial habitats. The course will involve a combination of both lectures and extensive field experience. (Meets the laboratory/field requirement for the natural sciences.) Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
