PHSC 13600: Natural Hazards
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course presents the current understanding of high-impact weather and geologic events and an introduction to risk assessment and mitigation. Topics include an overview of geography, statistics, and societal impacts of the world's natural hazards; physics and forecasts of hurricanes, extratropical cyclones, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, droughts, floods, wildfires, and landslides; climate change and weather events; quantifying risks; and successful examples of community- and national-level disaster prevention programs.

PHSC 18100: The Milky Way
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
PQ: Any 10000-level general education sequence in chemistry, geophysical sciences, physical sciences, or physics. In this course, we study what is known about our galaxy, the Milky Way. We discuss its size, shape, composition, location among its neighbors, motion, how it evolves, and where we are located within it, with an emphasis on how we know what we claim to know. N. Gnedin.

PHSC 18200: The Origin and Evolution of the Universe
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
PQ: Any 10000-level general education sequence in chemistry, geophysical sciences, physical sciences, or physics. This course discusses how the laws of nature allow us to understand the origin, evolution, and large-scale structure of the universe. After a review of the history of cosmology, we see how discoveries in the twentieth century (i.e., the expansion of the universe and the cosmic background radiation) form the basis of the hot Big Bang model. Within the context of the Big Bang, we learn how our universe evolved from the primeval fireball. A. Olinto. Autumn.

PHSC 18300: Searching between the Stars
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
PQ: Any 10000-level general education sequence in chemistry, geophysical sciences, physical sciences, or physics. With the advent of modern observational techniques (e.g., radio, satellite astronomy), it has become possible to study free atoms, molecules, and dust in the vast space between the stars. The observation of interstellar matter provides information on the physical and chemical conditions of space and on the formation and evolution of stars. D. Harper. Spring.

2.00 Credits
University of Chicago
PQ: For all three variants, a first-year calculus sequence (MATH 13100-13200-13300, 15100-15200-15300, or 16100-16200-16300) and appropriate placement recommendation. (NOTE: MATH 15100-15200-15300 or 16100-16200-16300 may be taken concurrently.) Calculus is used in all three sequences. The first two courses of any sequence meet the general education requirement in physical sciences. Although the essential physics content of these variants is similar, PHYS 13100-13200-13300 and 14100-14200-14300 prepare students for further courses in the Department of Physics, while PHYS 12100-12200-12300 includes a broader emphasis on interdisciplinary applications, such as in biology. Two sections of Variant B (PHYS 13100-13200-13300) are offered.
