GEOL 310: Stratigraphy and Sedimentation
4.00 Credits
Western Colorado University
A study of the basic principles and origins of sedimentary rock units. Topics studied include sub-division of the geologic column and geologic time, depositional systems, stratigraphic nomenclature and rules, principles of correlation-including a review of modern geophysical, geochemical, and chronostratigraphic methods, biostratigraphy, and event stratigraphy. Laboratory includes measurement of sections, examination of depositional systems in the field, and surface and subsurface stratigraphic techniques, including geophysical-log interpretation and computer mapping. Prerequisites: ENG 102 with a minimum grade of "C-," GEOL 201.

GEOL 320: Geomorphology
4.00 Credits
Western Colorado University
A study of the processes that create the landforms we see at the Earth's surface. In particular, processes associated with modern and ice-age climate are studied including erosion and weathering, soil formation, flooding, glaciation, and mass wasting. The laboratory emphasizes field-observation and data-collection techniques, and the interpretation of aerial photographs. Prerequisites: GEOL 101 and GEOL 105; CHEM 101 or CHEM 111.

GEOL 345: Structural Geology
4.00 Credits
Western Colorado University
A study of the deformation of the Earth's crust. The course begins with a study of the forces and movements within the crust which cause folding and faulting of rocks and a description of the resulting structures. These topics are followed by an analysis of the regional tectonic patterns of the Earth's surface and theories for their origin. Prerequisite: GEOL 201.

GEOL 351: Geochemistry
3.00 Credits
Western Colorado University
A study of the distribution and movement of chemical elements and isotopes in the geologic environment. Topics include the structural, thermodynamic, and kinetic controls of element distribution. Examples illustrate the origin of economic mineral deposits, geochemical exploration, and the transport of material from mineral deposits and hazardous waste sites by natural waters. Prerequisite: GEOL 305.
