1.00 Credits
Use of sedimentary rocks, fossils, geologic maps, and structural sections in interpreting ancient environments, tectonic settings, and geologic history. Age relations and correlation of rock and time-rock units. Introduction to fossil identification and biostratigraphy. Laboratory three hours. Prerequisite: GEOL 5 or GEOL 10 and GEOL 10L. Graded: Graded Student. Units: 1.0
-
3.00 Credits
Survey of geological, physical, chemical and biological oceanography including the sea floor; waves, tides, currents; the physical and chemical properties of seawater and their distribution in the sea; planktonic life and its relation to nutrients. Graded: Graded Student. Units: 3.0
-
3.00 Credits
Applies geologic data and principles to situations affecting our environment. The geologic study of earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, landslides, groundwater and similar topics supplies the background data for lectures on land use and other social choices. Topics such as geopolitics and mineral supply provide a basis for understanding international politics, social costs, and world economics. Fee course. Graded: Graded Student. Units: 3.0
-
2.00 Credits
10-day field trip to a region of outstanding geology. Attendance at preliminary meetings is required. Analyzes and interpretation of geologic features is emphasized. Fee course. Note: Student should consult the Geology Department during the semester before planning to take the course. May be taken more than once for credit. Graded: Credit / No Credit. Units: 2.0
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Supervised individual instruction on techniques applied in geology laboratories for advanced research in mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, and paleontology. Prerequisite: Appropriate upper division courses and instructor permission. Graded: Credit / No Credit. Units: 1.0 - 3.0.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to Geology through examination of aspects of the geology of Mexico. Emphasizes problem-based approach to learning Geology and the process of scientific investigation. Topics include a wide range of geological concepts including plate tectonic setting of Mexico, living with volcanoes: the Mexican volcanic belt, the Mexico City earthquake, issues of water supply, flooding and atmospheric pollution in Mexico City, the Chicxulub crater and geologic time, ore deposits of Mexico. Lecture three hours; laboratory three hours. Graded: Graded Student. Units: 4.0
-
3.00 Credits
Examination of earth materials and earth processes through the study of natural disasters. Topics include earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes and meteorite impacts. Examination of causes, effects and mitigation of natural disasters. Graded: Graded Student. Units: 3.0
-
3.00 Credits
Applies the fundamental principles of geology, biology, and ecology to the exploration of the Mesozoic world. Emphasis is placed on the nature and evolution of dinosaurs in the context of the global and regional changes in the Mesozoic ecosystem. Included are considerations of the data, methods, and uncertainties in paleontology and other historical sciences. Graded: Graded Student. Units: 3.0
-
