4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U515. Focuses on the development of communities in an environmentally sustainable way and on the division of natural resources within these communities and the global system. Defines and discusses "sustainable development" and its global role today. Exposes students to a history of developmental methods while learning about the interconnectedness of development and the environment. Encourages students to draw conclusions about the environmental impacts of these methods and to consider more equitable uses of natural resources.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U520. Covers the origin, distribution, and flow of groundwater in permeable sediments and bedrock; hydrological and geological characteristics of aquifers; regional flow systems emphasizing rock structure, stratigraphy, and other aspects of the geological environment; principles of hydrogeologic mapping and analysis; and introduction to well testing and well hydraulics. An individual research project augments class activities.
-
1.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U521. Accompanies GEO U520. Covers topics from the course through various experiments.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U523. Provides a description and evaluation of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils. Includes soil formation, soil types, and processes that occur in soil including the importance of these processes for soil productivity and the management of soil. Also covers sources, reactions, transports, and fates of chemical species in soils and associated water and air environments, as well as the chemical behavior of elements and compounds and the phenomena affecting natural and anthropogenic materials in soils.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U530. Focuses on the nature and origin of rock structures produced during deformation of the Earth's crust. Emphasizes analysis of the geometric relationships of structural features and interpreting the possible stress and tectonic environments that produced them. There is a field trip to study many of the structural features discussed in lectures.
-
1.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U531. Accompanies GEO U530 and is required for all geology majors but optional for all others. Lab exercises and homework include utilizing geologic maps, cross sections, stereographic projections, rock specimens, the petrographic microscope, and field data to analyze structural features and interpret their origins.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U535. Explores the fundamental concepts of remote sensing of the environment. Topics include digital imagery from spacecraft, conventional and high-altitude aerial photography, orthophotography production, and surface modeling systems. Offers hands-on experience with basic functions of industry standard image processing software.
-
1.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U536. Accompanies GEO U535. Covers topics from the course through various applied activities.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U540. Presents the analysis of sedimentary basins based on detailed study of sedimentary petrology, sedimentary structures, and stratigraphic sequences and fossils.
-
1.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U541. Accompanies GEO U540. Lab work uses geologic sections, suites of sedimentary rocks and thin sections, and drill cores and borehole logs to interpret and analyze the geologic history and environmental and economic potential of sedimentary basins.
