4.00 Credits
A study of the morphology, classification and geologic significance of vertebrate fossils. Graduate students will complete an individual term project or special report.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course covers the applications of paleontological problems. Major problems include: 1) the formation of fossils, 2) biostratigrphy, 3) fossil identification and classification, 4) biogeography, and 5) paleoclimatology. Labs utilize a diverse collection of fossils and a computer lab with paleontology softwere.

-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the principles and application of stratigraphy and biostratigraphy, and principles of sedimentation. Emphasis is placed on concepts of time, time-rock, rock units, sedimentary facies, guide fossils and fossil range and description of rocks in time and space, their correlation and interpretation. Petrologic interpretation and basic laboratory techniques are also demonstrated. The origin and distribution of sedimentary rocks is examined from initial weathering through erosion and transportation, to environments and mechanisms of deposition. Graduate students will complete an individual term project or special report.

-
3.00 Credits
A systematic study of the earth as a planet, including aspects of its atmosphere, oceans, lithosphere, soils and physiography. Laboratory will emphasize the location and utilization of local, as well as regional, materials for earth science teaching and learning. Graduate students will complete an individual term project or special report.

-
3.00 Credits
Coastal Geology will comprise an introduction to a variety of coastal environments and landforms as well as the physical and geological processes that shape them. Coastal hazards and issues related to the ecology and management of the coast will also be discussed. The course will include two required weekend fieldtrips to coastal areas in the southeastern United States. Graduate students will complete an individual term project or a special report.
