3.00 Credits
Introduces glaciology, glacial influence on topography, crustal rebound, and sea level, and glacial chronology for northern North America. Prereq., any 1000-level sequence of geological sciences or instructor consent. Same as GEOL 5360.
-
4.00 Credits
Discusses the history and evolution of the vertebrates, including the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary patterns of the major groups. Lab focuses on comparative vertebrate osteology and fossil representation of major groups. Prereqs., GEOL 1010, 1020, and 3410, or instructor consent. Restricted to juniors and seniors. Same as GEOL 5474.
-
3.00 Credits
Deals with controversies within the broad realm of geological sciences, including planetary geology, evolution, paleobiology, global change, environmental issues, plate tectonics, resources, other societal problems, or geologic thought in general. Students are provided the opportunity to analyze and debate scientific issues in the earth sciences. Prereq., any 1000-level science sequence. May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours. Approved arts and sciences core curriculum: critical thinking.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces concepts and methods of petroleum reservoir analysis and 3-D reservoir modeling using subsurface data (cores, well logs, 3-D seismic) and outcrop analogs. Examines petroleum system, petrophysics (lithology, porosity, permeability, capillary pressure, flow units), and sequence-stratigraphic, facies, and structural controls on reservoir properties, heterogeneity, and recovery efficiency. Deterministic and stochastic reservoir modeling methods are addressed. Prereqs., GEOL 1010, 1020, and 3430 or instructor consent. Restricted to juniors/seniors. Same as GEOL 5550.
-
3.00 Credits
Explores ice physics, snow, glaciers, floating ice, ice in the ground and in the solar system. Emphasizes glaciers and ice sheets, including reconstruction of past glaciations and impacts of ice and snow on society. Prereq., MATH 1300. Same as GEOL 5640.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces principles of stable and radiogenic isotope systematics in inorganic and organic geochemistry. Emphasizes application of isotope data to problems in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary petrology, geobiochemistry, and petroleum genesis. Prereqs., CHEM 1131, MATH 1300, and GEOL 3020. Same as GEOL 5670.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits

-
2.00 Credits
Methods of field study of structure of rocks, including observations, data collection, and interpretation to understand geometry of deformation and causative processes and kinematics. Field projects are mapped using different scales, air photos, topographic maps, and compass and tape. Prereqs., GEOL 2700 and 3120.
-
2.00 Credits
Applies geophysical field techniques and data interpretation to studying geological and engineering problems. Fieldwork includes seismic, gravity, magnetic, and electrical measurements. Prereqs., GEOL 2700, MATH 1300, PHYS 1110, or instructor consent.
