This is designed to provide an opportunity for specialized study of issues, problems and selected topics in geography. Prerequisite: Junior standing and permission of instructor. (2-4,0) 2-4
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A field- and project-based educational experience in which aspects of geology, including environmental geology, earth resources, tectonic processes and the interrelationships among geology and other natural sciences, will be addressed. Travel destinations will include regions with unique natural history. Prerequisite: ENGL091 or equivalent. Credit can be earned for only one of NSCI102, GEOL115 and GEOL121. (2,4) 4
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The study of processes and features of the rocks and surficial materials that form the Earth's crust. Emphasis will be placed on the dynamic earth including volcanoes, plate tectonics, geologic time, catastrophic events such as earthquakes, and natural resources and their impact on society. The class requires student projects and emphasizes active problem-solving. Laboratory exercises involve minerals, rocks, topographic and geologic maps. Prerequisite: ENGL091. Credit can be earned for only one of NSCI102, GEOL115 and GEOL121. (3,2) 4
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The study of surficial processes and landforms in the context of their historical perspective. Emphasis will be placed on evolution of the earth; stratigraphic principles, tectonic framework of North America; landforms and depositional environments; climate, weathering, surficial processes, and sea level changes; and significant events in the history of plants and animals. Laboratory exercises involve geologic maps, invertebrate paleontology, and surficial processes including envrionmental applications. Prerequisite: GEOL121 or NSCI102 or GEOL115. (3,2) 4
-
0.00 - 999.00 Credits
No course description available.
-
0.00 - 5.00 Credits
A study of the deformation of the Earth through a project-centered approach that focuses on actual tectonic problems. Emphasis willl be placed on descriptive, kinematic and dynamic analysis of geologic structures, deformation mechanisms and the evolution of each in the context of the regional and global geology. Prerequisite: GEOL122. (3,6) 5
-
0.00 - 5.00 Credits
A laboratory course emphasizing hand-sample techniques for identification of minerals and rocks. Major topics include: physical properties, crystalline structure, and chemical composition of minerals, classificiation of minerals and rocks; origins of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks; plate tectonic occurrence of minerals and rock assemblages; and societal and economic significance of minerals and rocks. Prerequisite: GEOL122 or NSCI102. Prerequisite or corequisite: CHEM115. (3,6) 5
