3.00 Credits
Introduction to field methods in geology including measurement of sections, mapping techniques, and field interpretation of outcrops. A variety of geologic provinces and environments will be examined. A supply and travel fee will charged. Prerequisites: GEOL218 and GEOL223. (0,9) 3
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Special studies and/or research in geology for individuals or small seminar groups. Course content to be arranged with instructor and with approval of the school chair. This course may be repeated for a maximum of eigth credits. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing or higher. (1-4,0) 1-4
-
0.00 - 5.00 Credits
The study of environmental issues in a geological context through local and regional field projects. Projects will examine issues such as flooding, shoreline erosion, slope stability, groundwater resources and contamination, and the environmental impact of mineral and energy resource extraction. Emphasis will be placed on the evaluation of environmental issues through the application of geological and geophysical field data such as collecting and analyzing sediments, bedrock and sediment mapping, and well log analysis. Prerequisite: GEOL280. (3,6) 5 Alternate Years
-
0.00 - 5.00 Credits
Study of tectonic process and how these processes affect the earth and its evolution with time. A variety of modern and ancient tectonic settings will be studied through projects and case studies. The deformational geochemical, sedimentological and geophysical characteristics of individual tectonic settings will be analyzed. Weekend field trips may be required. Prerequisites: GEOL218 and GEOL223. (3,6) 5 Alternate Years
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The study of high-temperature igneous, metamorphic, and hydrothermal processes in the context of their global tectonic settings. Topics include the origin and evolution of magmas, igneous crystallization and emplacement processes, hydrothermal reactions and ore deposits, the thermodynamics of metamorphic reactions, and tectonic environments in which these processes occur. A pre-semester one-week field trip and weekend field trips may be required. Prerequisite: GEOL280. (2,6) 4 Alternate years
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The study and interpretation of siliciclastic sediments and environments based on stratigraphic principles. Topics include clastic transport and fluid flow, sedimentary structures, lithostratigraphy, facies recognition and relationships, depositional models, diagenesis, stratigraphic diagrams and maps, and tectonics and sedimentation. A pre-semester one-week field trip and weekend field trips may be required. Prerequisite: GEOL280. (2,6) 4 Alternate Years

No course description available.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course examines rock types and stratigraphy, geological structures, surface processes, earth materials and methods of geological investigation in the context of behavior of soils and rocks as related to planning and construction. The course includes coverage of in-situ investigations including shallow geophysical methods and emphasizes environmental applications and concerns. Prerequisites: MATH112 or MATH151, CSCI101 or CSCI111, PHYS221 or PHYS231. (3,2) 4
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The study of hydrologic systems with an emphasis on land surface and groundwater hydrology. Topics include global climate and the hydrologic cycle, precipitation, snow processes, soil water flow, evapotranspiration, groundwater flow, groundwater-surface interactions, and steam hydraulics. Laboratory componenets will provide experience in hydrologic field techniques, numerical modeling, and independent research. Preequisites: PHYS221 or PHYS231. (3,3) 4 Alternate Years
