4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U560. Introduces students to the use of a geographic information system (GIS), and explores the practical application of GIS to support geographic inquiry, analysis, and decision making. Topics include spatial data collection; data accuracy and uncertainty; cartographic principles and data visualization; geographic analysis; and legal, economic, and ethical issues associated with the use of a GIS. Students gain hands-on experience with a leading commercial GIS software package. Case studies from geology, environmental science, urban planning, architecture, social studies, and engineering are investigated.

1.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U561. Accompanies GEO U560. Covers topics from the course through various experiments.
-
2.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U562. Studies the basic techniques of reflection and refraction seismology, gravity, aeromagnetic, and heat-flow processes and the information they provide on the structure, composition, and dynamics of the earth's interior.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U563. Provides an in-depth evaluation of theoretical, mathematical, and computational foundations of geographic information systems (GIS). Topics include spatial information theory, database theory, mathematical models of spatial objects, and GIS-based representation. Examines advanced concepts and techniques in raster-based GIS and high-level GIS modeling techniques.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U570. Covers the processes of ice movement and the characteristics and distribution of erosional and depositional structures associated with past and present glaciers; introduces Quaternary chronology. An individual research project augments class activities.

-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U580. Uses computers to solve problems in the flow of groundwater. Develops concepts of groundwater flow. Uses the finite difference method to model steady-state and transient flow. Programs are supplied by the instructor so programming skill is not a prerequisite.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U582. Investigates important geological processes that occur when groundwater interacts with rock or soil, modifying groundwater chemistry and affecting water quality. Examines groundwater contamination and dispersion, isotope tracer studies, field sampling, and analytical methods.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U585. Studies the application of geology to the site selection, design, and environmental impact of engineering structures such as foundations, dams, tunnels, highways, landfills, excavations, and nuclear waste disposal sites.
-
4.00 Credits
Retired August 31, 2007; replaced with ENV U590. Offers elective credit for courses taken at consortium institutions.
