-
3.00 Credits
A study of earth materials and systems, the use of earth resources, and the interactions of geologic processes and human activities. Includes geologic hazards, mineral resources, water supply, and waste disposal. Labs use maps and specimens to illustrate case studies.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the origin and progressive development of the earth and evolution of plants and animals. Pre-historic life and fossil study as well as field trips to fossil beds are included in the laboratory work. Students may take either GEOS 102 or GEOS 103 for credit, but not both. Field trips required.
-
3.00 Credits
Exploration of the dynamic history of our planet and evolution of life on Earth for the past three billion years. A nonlab course for nonmajors. Students may take either GEOS 102 or GEOS 103 for credit, but not both.
-
0.00 Credits
For transfer students who need a laboratory experience to gain Area III Core credit for a lecture-only geology course taken elsewhere. PREREQ: PERM/INST.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced introduction to geologic sciences. Regional and global tectonics and their relationship to igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary processes, chemical differentiation, and landscape evolution. Emphasis on understanding the rock record by integrating field and analytical observations from various geologic disciplines. Field trips required. PREREQ: GEOS 100 or GEOS 101. COREQ: MATH 147.
-
3.00 Credits
A general study of physiography, biological oceanography, and ocean geology, including the physiography, circulation patterns, waves, tides, and the sedimentation and biologic processes that occur in the various ocean environments. PREREQ: GEOG 100 or GEOS 100 or GEOS 101.
-
3.00 Credits
