4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U200. Offers a systematic study of the materials and systems comprising the earth. Emphasizes the processes that form, transport, alter, and destroy rocks, as well as the nature and development of landscape. Plate tectonics theory is introduced as a guiding paradigm in geology.
-
1.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U201. Accompanies GEO 200. Covers exercises pertaining to mineral and rock identification, and topographic and geologic map interpretation. Required for environmental geology and geology majors.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U205. Introduces physical geography for students in history, political science, economics, or other social sciences who intend to pursue a career in education or other social sciences.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U220. Traces biological and physical development of the earth over the past 4.6 billion years using evidence preserved in rocks. A primary goal is to understand how geologists interpret events that occurred far in the geologic past. Topics include the origin of the earth and life, the evolution of life, and the causes and effects of major extinction events, the causes and results of mountain building and plate tectonics, and climate change over earth history.
-
1.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U221. Focuses on students using sedimentary rocks, fossils, and geologic maps and stratigraphic sections to record and to interpret events in earth history.
-
3.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U230. Introduces students to the scientific study of the ocean. Teaches basic understanding of global ocean processes and a more in-depth understanding of the waters through which students sail during their subsequent Sea Component. Covers the four interrelated disciplines of oceanography-physics, chemistry, biology, and geology. The development of proposals for independent student research projects to be carried out at sea is a key component of this shore-based course. Opportunities are provided to discuss current research with scientists working at the cutting edge of marine science. Includes lectures, labs, and field trips. Labs may include study of a coastal pond or salt marsh as an introduction to data collection, processing, chemical analyses, and microscopy that are used onboard ship. Part of the SEA Semester program.
