-
2.00 Credits
Field mapping and description of a variety of surficial deposits and soils in various environments (moraines and terraces) and estimating their age relations. Also techniques for surface and ground water field measurements: mapping water tables, measuring stream flows, conducting pump tests, and collecting water samples. Prereqs., GEOL 2700, 3030, or GEOG 3511, and GEOL/GEOG 4241 or GEOL 3430.
-
2.00 Credits
Develops basic field skills in the most commonly performed tasks required for the environmental characterization of solid and aqueous wastes. Media of study include soils, stream sediments, surface waters, ground waters, and atmospheric particulates. Prereqs., GEOL 2700 and CHEM 1011/1031, or CHEM 1051/1071, or CHEM 1111/1131, or CHEM 1151/1171.
-
2.00 Credits
Studies geologic features in and around Colorado to gain an overview of the geologic and tectonic evolution of the western U.S. Prereqs., GEOL 2700 and one or more of GEOL 3120, 3320, or 3430.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
May be repeated up to 3 credit hours.
-
1.00 Credits
Emphasizes strategies of literature research and scientific writing in the geosciences. Includes small writing assignments and a larger library research paper. Prereq., 15 hours of upper-division course work in geological sciences.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Supervised project involving original research in any area of the geological sciences. The thesis is submitted to the Honors Program of the College of Arts and Sciences and is orally defended. The candidate must have a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or better and must be accepted by the departmental honors committee.
-
3.00 Credits
Numerical method application to the study of deformation of geological materials, fluid flow, diagenesis, thermal convection, and solute transport. Covers finite difference, finite element, integrated finite difference, boundary element methods, and method of characteristics. Includes computer modeling of geologic problems.
-
4.00 Credits
Same as GEOL 4060.
-
3.00 Credits
Goal is to be able to more fully interpret the stratigraphic record. First half of the course studies fluid flow, sediment transport, and resultant bedforms. Second half focuses on carbonates, biological and chemical processes, and the resultant sedimentary products. Prereq., GEOL 3430.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces advanced groundwater flow and modeling concepts, equations for steady state and transient flow, saturated and unsaturated flow, finite difference method, application of modeling in geologic processes, radial flow and aquifer parameters, infiltration and groundwater recharge, model calibration, verification, and prediction. Prereqs., MATH 2300, FORTRAN, or instructor consent.
