3.00 Credits
Introduction to Earth Materials, emphasizing the structure, composition, formation, and behavior of minerals. Laboratories emphasize the 84 Colorado School of Mines Undergraduate Bulletin 2008-2009 recognition, description, and engineering evaluation of earth materials. Prerequisite: SYGN101. 2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to concepts of rock forming processes as a basis for rock classification. The course will teach practical skills allowing identification of common rock types in hand specimen and in outcrop. Subsurface and nearsurface alteration and weathering processes will be covered, emphasizing recognition of secondary mineral products and the changes to the physical properties of these minerals in the rock masses. Prerequisites: GEGN 206 or equivalent. 1 hour lecture, 3 hours lab; 2 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Special topics classes taught on a one-time basis. May include lecture, laboratory and field trip activities. Prerequisite: Approval of instructor and department head. Variable credit; 1 to 6 semester hours. Repeatable for credit under different titles.
-
3.00 Credits
Individual special studies, laboratory and/or field problems in geological engineering or engineering hydrogeology. Prerequisite: "Independent Study" form must be completed andsubmitted to the Registrar. Variable credit; 1 to 6 semester hours. Repeatable for credit.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic processes, stressing the application of chemical and physical mechanisms to study the origin, occurrence, and association of rock types. Emphasis on the megascopic and microscopic classification, description, and interpretation of rocks. Analysis of the fabric and physical properties. Prerequisite: GEOL321, DCGN209. 2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Six weeks of field work, stressing geology of the Southern Rocky Mountain Province. Measurement of stratigraphic sections. Mapping of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary terrain using air photos, topographic maps, plane table, and other methods. Diversified individual problems in petroleum geology, mining geology, engineering geology, structural geology, and stratigraphy. Colorado School of Mines Undergraduate Bulletin 2008-2009 85 Formal reports submitted on several problems. Frequent evening lectures and discussion sessions. Field trips emphasize regional geology as well as mining, petroleum, and engineering projects. . Prerequisite: GEGN 202 , GEGN 206, GEOL314, GEOL309, and GEGN317. 6 semester hours (Field Term).
-
3.00 Credits
