GSC 415/415L: Engineering Geology II
3.00 Credits
California State Polytechnic University-Pomona
Application of geologic and geophysical principles to engineering problems encountered in the geotechnical industry. Lecture topics include earthquake faults and seismology of Southern California, earthquakeinduced strong ground motion and site effects, seismic instrumentation and shake maps, probabilistic hazard analysis, AlquistPriolo/fault trench studies, stability analysis of slopes and dams, and case studies of landslides, earthquakes, and dam failures. Laboratory sessions involve 3dimensional analysis of geologic data, field measurement and analysis of unstable slopes, and investigation of dam sites. 3 units lecture/discussion scheduled for evening. 1 unit laboratory requires field trips to be conducted on selected Saturdays. Prerequisites: Equivalent of GSC 111/GSC 141L or GSC 321/GSC 321L.

GSC 433/433L: Ore Deposits W
3.00 Credits
California State Polytechnic University-Pomona
A systematic study of the deposition of metallic ores. Preparation of comprehensive ore deposit models is stressed requiring the integration of mineralogy, petrology and structural geology. Discussions and practical exercises on wall rock alteration, paragenesis, metal zoning and fluid inclusion geothermometry are important components of the course. Laboratory examination of polished sections and thin sections from "classic" mining districts throughout the world and field trips to important mining districts compliment the lecture.Three lectures and one 3 hour lab. Prerequisite: GSC 215/215L. Required field trips. Field trip fee required.

GSC 461,462: Senior Thesis FWSp
2.00 Credits
California State Polytechnic University-Pomona
Independent research study into a geologic problem of scientific merit following standard scientific methodology. Topic selection, research techniques, data analysis and formal write up are done under close guidance and supervision of a GSC faculty research advisor. Successful completion of GSC 461 and 462 requires submission of a formal, written report in appropriate scientific style. In certain cases, publication of research results in appropriate scientific journal or as an abstract may be accepted in lieu of report.
