Examines the patterns and processes of human occupance of the earth, with a focus on the United States. Topics such as population, agriculture, language, religion, ethnicity, politics, and economics are covered using the tools, methods and perspective of the geographer. (Available for General Education, Social Sciences)
-
3.00 Credits
Geographical survey of the world’s major regions with emphasis on those features important to an understanding of current global concerns and problems. (Available for General Education, Social Sciences)
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Corequisite: GEOG 206L. Introduction to basic principles of geographical information science (GIS), including data gathering, analysis, and display through digital methods. Students will be introduced to examples of how GIS is currently being used to answer spatial questions on environmental and social issues. Laboratories will demonstrate these principles through operation of a GIS package on microcomputers. Two hours lecture; three hours lab. (Available for General Education, Lifelong Learning) (IC)

3.00 Credits
Studies of the geologic materials and processes that shape our earth and environment are explored as they relate to our everyday lives. Topics include: global tectonics; earthquakes and other geologic hazards; glacial, river and coastal processes that form our landscapes; water, mineral and energy resources; and waste disposal and pollution. Students using this course to satisfy the Natural Sciences section of General Education may satisfy the corresponding lab requirement by completing GEOL 102. Students may not receive credit for both GEOL 100 and 101. Lecture three hours, field trip.
-
1.00 Credits
Recommended Corequisite or Preparatory: GEOL 100 or 101. Identification of rocks and minerals. Introduction to topographic maps and how they are used to interpret geologic processes and geologic history. Interpretation of geologic maps and data relating to earthquakes and plate tectonics. Satisfies the lab requirement in Natural Sciences of General Education provided either GEOL 100 or 101 is completed. Lab three hours, field trips.
-
3.00 Credits
Not for credit in Geology major. Examines the revolution in earthquake hazard awareness that has occurred in California since the mid-1980’s when the scale of the earthquake hazard began to emerge from scientific discovery. Students will investigate the reciprocal ways in which science has informed the public, political, and economic debate over the implications of earthquake hazard as well as exploring the manner by which public and political priorities have shaped the direction of scientific and engineering response to the hazard. Lecture 3 hours. (Available for General Education, Lifelong Learning)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Completion of the lower division writing requirement. Analysis of Earth systems (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere), the solar system, and the universe. Selected topics include structure and composition of the Earth; minerals and rocks; plate tectonics; landforms and surface processes; natural hazards, such as floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions; physical oceanography, the water cycle, weather and climate; formation of the universe and solar system, and evolution of stars and galaxies. Three hours of lecture per week. Available for Earth Science credit for Liberal Studies. (Cross listed with GEOG 106LRS)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Corequisite: GEOL 107LOL. This online lecture and laboratory combination explores how earth science issues that impact society are depicted in film and television and how these depictions influence the viewers’ perceptions of earth science. Students will learn fundamental concepts of earth science and how to evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of earth science portrayed in fictional and documentary film and television. (Available for General Education, Natural Sciences, fulfills lecture and lab credit.)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the dynamic study of the Earth’s evolution, including changes in its crust, oceans, atmosphere, and climate, and how these changes, woven into the fabric of geologic time, affected major groups of plants and animals, including dinosaurs and humans. Students using this course to satisfy a General Education requirement Natural Sciences may satisfy the corresponding lab requirement by completing GEOL 112.
-
1.00 Credits
Recommended Corequisite or Preparatory: GEOL 110. Course content includes introduction to fossil, relative-age relationships, and construction and interpretation of maps and cross-sections that emphasize paleogeography and sedimentary rocks. May be used satisfy the lab requirement in Natural Sciences of General Education provided GEOL 110 is completed. Lab 3 hours, a 1-day field trip.
