-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the influences of geologic processes on human lives and the changes human actions cause in geologic systems. Uses examples and case studies from Colorado and the West. Approved for the arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
4.00 Credits
Covers basic concepts of physics and chemistry, taught in the context of Earth and space science. Small class size and emphasis on student investigations, lab and field work, and active learning make this course particularly appropriate for future K--6 teachers. Prereq., two high school science courses (college prep level). Same as ARSC 2110. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
2.00 Credits
Introduces basic field techniques necessary to collect geologic data and samples, and necessary to map geologic units. Prereqs., GEOL 1010 and 1020; or GEOL 1060 and 1070; or GEOG 1001 and 1011.
-
3.00 Credits
Two lects. and one lab per week. Origin, occurrence, identification, classification, and uses of minerals. Applications of mineralogy to economic geology and petrology are emphasized. Prereq., CHEM 1111 and MATH 1300.
-
3.00 Credits
Field relations, petrography, petrology, chemistry, and origins of igneous and metamorphic rocks are studied by means of lectures, reading, and lab and field experience. Labs include instruction in the fundamentals of optical petrography and the study of rocks in thin section. Prereq., GEOL 3010.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces parametric and distribution-free statistics, emphasizing applications to earth science problems. Same as GEOG 3023.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces groundwater flow concepts, hydrologic cycle, physical and chemical properties, flow net, hydraulic potential, geologic controls on heterogeneity and anisotropy, aquifers and aquitards in a geologic system, saturated and unsaturated flow, flow to a well, pumping tests, and role of groundwater in geologic processes. Prereqs., GEOL 1010 or 1060, and MATH 1300; or instructor consent.
-
3.00 Credits
Geological records in lakes, oceans, deserts, and around glaciers indicate the significant changes in the global systems that have taken place over the last few hundred or thousand years. Explores the timing and nature of these changes. Prereqs., any two-course sequence of natural science core courses. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: natural science.
-
2.00 Credits
Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques focused on geological applications. GIS analyzing, mapping, and GPS use are covered. Basic computer skills are a plus before entering the class.
-
3.00 Credits
Reviews the geologic history and evolution of the U.S. national parks. Surveys the regional geology of the U.S., and then the details of each park based on its geologic occurrence and geographic setting. The course is designed for non-majors who enjoy understanding the origins and the beauty of our national parks. Prereq., GEOL 1010.
