3.00 Credits
Geography is the study of spatial distributions of peoples, cultures, places and environments across the earth. It includes relationships between different groups of peoples, cultural and natural factors, and features of the natural environment as background and human-environment interactions.
-
3.00 Credits
The course introduces students to digital mapping echnology and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using the ArcView software. Students are exposed to assumptions and approaches of spatial analysis, and they learn the basics of making maps on computers. Lab fee for purchase of digital map data off the internet and use of color printer in Computer Lab.

4.00 Credits
Asurvey of the fundamentals of physical geology; characteristics and origins of rocks and minerals; mechanisms and processes of volcanism, plutonism, metamorphism, weathering, erosion, sedimentation, and lithification; evolution of landforms, and plate tectonics. Field work required as part of laboratory. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
Astudy of the methods and concepts by which earth history is interpreted, including the geologic time scale; interactions of physical, chemical, and biological processes through time, origin of life; evolution and distribution of plants and animals; the geologic time scale, and the geologic history of North America. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of geology and its relation to man's environment. Special emphasis on man's attempts to alter local environments. Topics include: plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, streams and flooding, ground-water, coastal processes, soil/water/mineral/energy resources, waste and pollution, and environmental law and planning topics. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory (significant part of lab is field work.)
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: GLY125, GLY226 or permission of instructor. Development of practical understanding of topographic maps and the capability to use them in interpretation of landforms, near surface geology, near-surface groundwater attributes, surface drainage, slope evaluation, and local planning issues. Also includes field and lab work to develop a topographic map of a local site.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: GLY125, GLY226, or permission of instructor. Intensive field experience in various terrains, with emphasis on structural evolution, rock-type analysis, and igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic process. Typically conducted out-of-state and frequently out-of-country. Strenuous physical activity.
