UC, CSU ( GEO-1 and 1L = CAN GEOL 2) Prerequisite: None. Examines the composition and structure of the Earth, and the processes that shape its surface such as earthquakes, volcanoes, running water, glaciers and plate tectonics. The course also examines some of the social consequences of geological processes and addresses the study of the geology of other planetary bodies. Has an optional laboratory course (GEO-1L) and an optional field course (GEO-30.) 54 hours lecture.
-

UC, CSU ( CAN GEOL 4) Prerequisite: None. Geologic history of the earth and the fossil record, emphasizing principles and methods of interpretation. Special topics discussed are: continental drift, the San Andreas fault, evolution, extinction, and mountain building. Laboratory includes study of fossils, geologic maps, and methods of interpreting ancient environments. Field trips to local areas of geologic interest. 54 hours lecture and 54 hours laboratory.
-
1.00 Credits
UC, CSU ( GEG 1 + 1L = CAN GEOG 2) Prerequisite: Concurrent or previous enrollment in GEO-1 or 1A. This course is a laboratory course designed to acquaint students with the concepts presented in Physical Geology (GEO-1.) Topics studied include, but are not limited to, topographic and geologic map reading, earthquake analysis, physical properties and identification of minerals, and the study of rocks. 54 hours laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
CSU Prerequisite: None. A survey of the principles of physical and historical geology as interpreted through the study of several of the National Parks and Monuments. Emphasis will be on understanding the geologic processes which have shaped the present landscape, with considerable use made of rock and fossil specimens, films, slides, and maps. 54 hours lecture.

UC, CSU Prerequisite: None. The geology of California: A study of its geological history, including the examination of the varying geological provinces and environments which exist throughout the state. Some selected topics include: examining major structural elements (faults) within the state; the study of the geology and the history of California's geologic resources; the study of geologic hazards; and the relationship of California geology to global tectonics. 54 hours lecture. Optional Field Trips: GEO-30A, 30B or 31 will accompany the course - 1 unit.
-
1.00 Credits
CSU Prerequisite: None. Advisory: Concurrent or previous enrollment in GEO-1B, 2, or 3. A field course with trips to regional points of geologic interest. This class includes a series of three to four field excursions to sites of geologic interest. These sites include, but are not limited to, the Landers seismic zone to view ground ruptures associated with the 1992 Landers earthquake, the Blackhawk landslide, the San Andreas fault zone, Salton Sea geothermal field, Amboy crater, California's coastline, the San Bernardino mountains, Rainbow Basin, Calico mountains and San Diego mining district. Designed to supplement other courses in geology and to increase the interest and understanding of those enrolled in these courses. 54 hours to be arranged per semester.
