or GEOL 2100. (Cross-Listed as GEOL 3250.) Geologic processes sculpt the earth's surface to produce landforms (e.g. mountains, rivers, glacial features, caves, deserts, and coasts. The recognition of these landforms in the field, on topographic maps and on remote sensing imagery is covered in this course. Recognition of the unique set of processes by which they formed. The hazards of human use of particular landforms are assessed through recognition of landforms and the processes that made them. (Lab and field.) This course may be offered in sections with a Q2 designation. Faculty: R. MUELLER, C. EPSTEIN 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours 3.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Environmental Studies Department

CHEM 2110, ENVL 2100, ENVL 2200, ENVL 2300 or Permission of Instructor. Examines the principal physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil and the way in which these properties affect plant growth and other aspects of the environment. Includes field description of soils and laboratory analysis of chemical and physical properties of soils. (Lab and field.) This course may be offered in sections with a Q2 designation. Faculty: R. MUELLER 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours 3.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Environmental Studies Department

4.00 Credits
or GEOL 2100. This course studies the flow of water onto, over, and beneath the Earth's surface. Topics discussed include precipitation and storms, vegetative interception, evapotranspiration, soil moisture flow, surface runoff, rivers, flooding, and groundwater flow. This course is designed for anyone interested in hydrologic phenomena, and it can be useful to foresters, soil scientists, planners, geologists, engineers, or environmentalists. Field methods will be stressed in the location of the water table and the direction of groundwater flow, in the assessment of surface, flowing-well discharge and stream channel adjustments. Laboratory methods, geophysical methods, and computer methods will be stressed in the analysis of hydrologic phenomena. (Lab and field.) This course may be offered in sections with a Q2 designation. Faculty: C. EPSTEIN 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours 2.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture/Lab_ Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Environmental Studies Department

4.00 Credits
ENVL 2100 and ENVL 2200 or GEOL 2100 or CHEM 2110 or MARS 2202. The topics discussed include the role of groundwater in the hydrologic cycle, the occurrence of groundwater, physics of groundwater flow, aquifer properties and flow to wells, simulation of groundwater flow, and the chemistry and pollution of groundwater. Case studies will be stressed, as will computer modeling of groundwater flow and solute transport. Computer models currently used to study groundwater will be discussed and used. Geological and geophysical methods used in groundwater study will be discussed as well. This course may be offered in sections with a Q2 designation. Faculty: C. EPSTEIN 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Environmental Studies Department

4.00 Credits
ENVL 2100 and ENVL 2200 or Permission of Instructor. This course applies principles from the introductory Physical Geography course to current environmental concerns. Processes of material transfer and energy flow are discussed relative to cultural modifications of the Earth's surface. Scientific theory and data are used to understand and predict Earth surface responses to environmental modification. Course work involves extensive quantitative techniques, computer applications, and use of such tools as Global Positioning Systems. Offered alternate years. Faculty: R. MUELLER 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Environmental Studies Department

4.00 Credits
Modern industrial agriculture has greatly increased world food production but is heavily dependent on fossil fuels and large quantities of water. Given future shortages this dependence is not sustainable. Modern agriculture has also led to other environmental problems. This course will examine more sustainable agricultural methods based on ecosystem processes and landscape ecology, including organic methods, integrated pest management, and integrated water management. Faculty: R. MUELLER 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Environmental Studies Department
-
4.00 Credits
The development and current status of energy planning techniques. Makes the linkages between federal, state and municipal programs and regulations with the technical aspects of energy technology and conservation. This course is suited for both land-use planners and scientists. Offered alternate years. Faculty: L. STILES 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Environmental Studies Department
