3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the scientific study of the planet on which we live. This course emphasizes the study of the major Earth systems (atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and geosphere) and the interactions between them. Attention is given to the subject of environmental change and the implications for our future. This course is one possible introduction to the geology major. No prerequisites. One or two Saturday morning field trips are required. Cross-listed as GEMS 157. Except in unique cases, a student may not receive credit for both GEMS 157/GES100 and GES 110. Four Credits Staff Both Semesters

3.00 Credits
This course is designed as a "hands-on" alternative tothe traditional introductory survey course. Its goal is to give students direct experience with the ways scientists ask and answer questions about the Earth. Almost all of the class time will be spent in the field where students will be trained to make and record observations, develop hypotheses, and test ideas while studying the materials and processes that shape the surface of the planet. This course is one possible introduction to the geology major. One weekend field trip required. No prerequisites. A student may not receive credit for both GEMS 157/GES100 and GES 110. Two Credits DeVries-Zimmerman First Half of Fall Semester
-
3.00 Credits
Plate tectonics is a theory that has revolutionized geology, giving the science its first coherent, widely accepted picture of how the whole Earth works. This course is designed to give students a solid understanding of the basic theory, the evidence on which it is based, and its application to subjects as diverse as earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain ranges, precious metal deposits, the topography of the sea floor and the history of life. No prerequisites. Two Credits Pinan-Llamas Second Half of Fall Semester
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
This is an introduction to the physical and biological development of the Earth during the last 4.5 billion years. Topics include the formation of the Earth, interpretation of major events in Earth history as preserved in the rock record, and the origin and evolution of life. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory each week. One weekend field trip is required, as may be one or more Saturday field trips. Prerequisite: an introductory geology course or permission of instructor. Four Credits Bodenbender Spring Semester
-
3.00 Credits
This is a scientific study of our planet in terms of natural systems and their mutual interaction, with an emphasis on the modification of these systems by human activities. The emphasis in this course is on local-scale environmental problems. Subjects covered include air and water pollution, contaminant toxicology, risk assessment, soil chemistry and soil degradation. Three hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 111. Three Credits Peterson Fall Semester
-
3.00 Credits
This is the scientific study of our planet with an emphasis on global environmental problems. Subjects covered include population and demographics, basic ecological principles, biological diversity, extinction, natural resources, biogeochemical cycles, climate and climate change, and ozone depletion. Three hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 111. Three Credits Staff Spring Semester
-
3.00 Credits
This laboratory course accompanies the Earth Environmental Systems I and II courses. This class will introduce laboratory and field methods necessary to investigate the natural systems which comprise our ecosystem, and the effects of human activities on it. Sampling techniques, field identification, and common methods of chemical analysis for environmental study will be emphasized. Three hours of laboratory per week and one hour of discussion. Prerequisite: Chemistry 113. Two Credits GES Staff Spring Semester
