GEY 109K: Field Geology of Maine
4.00 Credits
University of Southern Maine
This introductory course uses a field-based approach to understanding earth materials and the processes of crustal deformation, igneous intrusion, and surface erosion. Traditional lectures and labs are combined in a series of weekly field trips to spectacular coastal rock exposures of Casco Bay and southern Maine, where students will learn to recognize and interpret the effects of crustal and surface processes in the context of local geologic history. Traditional map and compass and modern GPS techniques will be used. Summer Session or Fridays during fall semesters. Cr 4.

GEY 110K: Field Studies in Enviro n m e n t a l Geology on the Island of Lesvos,Greece
4.00 Credits
University of Southern Maine
This course will consider the basic and applied geology of the eastern Aegean Sea with particular emphasis on the island of Lesvos, Greece. The course is a cooperative effort with the Department of Environmental Studies of the University of the Aegean. Rocks, minerals, and topographic maps will be studied for the purpose of interpreting the bedrock geology, geomorphology, and hydrogeology of the region. Other topics will include remote sensing, aerial geology, tectonics, use of the Brunton compass, waste disposal, coastal processes, and the impact of development. The course will consist of lectures, laboratory experiences, and field trips to many parts of the island. Offered during Summer Session only. Cr 4.

GEY 201: Paleogeography and Global Change
3.00 Credits
University of Southern Maine
This course examines the diversity of the global rock record to emphasize continental, oceanic, and atmospheric origins and changes. Geochronology, geologic time scale, plate tectonics, and magnetoand bio-stratigraphy will be significant topics. Laboratories will emphasize invertebrate fossil groups from the late Precambrian to the Pleistocene. Three hours lecture, three hours lab. The course may require one three-day field trip. Prerequisite: completion of a 100-level geoscience lecture and lab. Cr 4.5

GEY 202: Landscape Evolution and A n a l y s i s
2.00 Credits
University of Southern Maine
Students will consider landscapes and the processes that are responsible for their formation. Emphasis will be on the constructive processes of mountainbuilding and volcanism and the erosional processes of rivers, glaciers, the sea, and wind. There will be one or two weekend field trips. Two hours lecture, two hours lab. Prerequisite: Any GEY100-level lecture with lab or permission of instructor. Cr 4.

GEY 203: Mineralogy
5.00 Credits
University of Southern Maine
The course concentrates on the silicate family of minerals, but also examines non-silicate mineral families. Subject areas covered include crystallography, crystal chemistry, and environments of mineral formation. In one lab each week, students will examine crystals and minerals in hand specimens. In a second lab each week, the rudiments of optical crystallography are introduced and students will examine minerals microscopically. Three hours lecture, two labs each two hours in length. Prerequisite: completion of a 100-level geoscience lecture and lab; CHY 113K and CHY114K are recommended. Cr 5

GEY 204: Crustal Deformation
3.00 Credits
University of Southern Maine
The crustal rocks exposed in coastal Maine are examined. Students learn to recognize, describe, and interpret a wide variety of outcrop-scale structures. In weekly field-based labs, students will use Brunton compasses, manual and digital stereonets, outcrop mapping techniques, GPS and clay deformation devices to analyze the local geologic structure and tectonic history. Prerequisite: completion of a 100-level geoscience lecture and lab. Three hours lecture and four hours lab. Cr 5.

3.00 Credits
University of Southern Maine
An introduction to watershed hydrology, including precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, flow in open channels, floods, and subsurface flow. Readings of current domestic and international case studies involving water resource issues are incorporated where appropriate. Prerequisites: PHY 111K or PHY 121K and successful completion of the University's Core requirements in composition (C) and mathematics (D). Cr 3.

GEY 240: X-Ray Powder D i ffraction L a b o r a t o ry
3.00 Credits
University of Southern Maine
This is an applications laboratory designed for junior or senior level majors in geosciences, or any discipline that requires the characterization and identification of crystalline solids. Students will develop a working knowledge of elementary crystallography, sample preparation and identification using x-ray diffraction. Projects will utilize a series of increasingly complex materials and mixtures, culminating with a narrowly defined research project. Prerequisite: GEY203 or concurrent or CHY113K and CHY 114K or concurrent, or permission of instructor. Cr 1.
