Catalog Description Hawaiian geology and geologic processes: origin of Hawaiian Islands, volcanism, rocks and minerals, land forms, stream and coastal processes, landslides, earthquakes and tsunamis, ground water, geologic and environmental hazards. Field trips arranged. (3 hrs. lect.) Student Learning Outcomes Understand formational and evolutionary processes, as well as time-scales for these processes in the construction, modification and destruction of a Hawaiian island and its landscape. Relate Hawaiian volcanism to other types of volcanism in terms of plate tectonics, magma/rock types, magmatic plumbing systems, edifice construction/destruction, eruption types, and eruptive products. Describe how volcanoes are monitored and eruptions predicted. Realize the significance of volcanism in the rock cycle. Appreciate the benefits of volcanism to Hawai'i as in geothermal energy, ground water, soils, and more. Appreciate volcanic hazards and mitigation of those hazards with a focus on Hawai'i. Comprehend the vastness of geological time and how time is measured thus the time-scale known.
