-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Geology 103; or Geology 101 and permission of instructor. An examination of the processes and principles that control the accumulation and lithification of sediments, based on examples of recent environments and ancient rock sections in many parts of the world. Laboratory emphasizes map-reading skills and methods for studying recent and ancient sediments and rocks. Alternate years--offered 2008-09. Bartels.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Geology 101 or permission of instructor. Geologic processes operating at the earth's surface and the landforms they produce. Includes the study of soil formation, river processes, glaciers, wave action, wind, groundwater and their related landforms. Field trips. Laboratory includes analysis of aerial photographs, topographic maps and experiments with flume and wave tank. Alternate years--offered 2008-09. Wilch.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Geology 103, or Biology 195, or permission of instructor. The study of fossils and their use in geology and biology, focusing on invertebrate animals. Laboratory emphasizes relationships between groups and to sedimentary environments and correlation. Alternate years--offered 2009-10. Bartels.
-
0.50 Credits
Prerequisite: Geology 101 or 103, or permission of instructor. A field study of the structure and stratigraphy of selected geologic provinces. During the second half of the spring semester the class will meet once a week to discuss readings related to the geology of the field study. The field study itself will last for eight to ten days typically beginning the day after commencement in May. Staff.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Geology 111 or permission of instructor. An introduction to the elementary principles, techniques and utility of remotely sensed imagery and image interpretation, especially when used in conjunction with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Shows how digital maps created from, or utilizing, digital imagery from airplanes, space shuttles and satellites can help in displaying and analyzing spatial data, modeling processes and making decisions. Laboratory emphasizes the use of remote sensing and GIS in a variety of environmental applications. Lecture and laboratory. Alternate years--offered 2008-09. Van de Ven.
-
1.00 Credits
Study of volcanic processes, eruptive products and their mechanism of formation, monitoring of active volcanoes, volcanic hazards, and the environmental impact of volcanism. Focuses on historical and modern case studies. Lecture and laboratory. Alternate years--offered 2008-09. Wilch.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Geology 101 or 103, or permission of instructor. Study of selected environmental hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, flooding, avalanches, water depletion and pollution. Includes land use planning and case histories involving environmental law. Laboratory uses maps, aerial photos and geologic data in the analysis and control of environmental hazards and in land use planning. Laboratory and field trips. Alternate years--offered 2008-09. Van de Ven.
