-
6.00 Credits
Field training in the techniques of archaeological survey and excavation.
-
1.00 - 8.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of department. Repeatable to 6 credits if content differs. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ANTH498 or ANTH698. Experience in field research utilizing a variety of ethnographic methods of inquiry.
-
3.00 - 8.00 Credits

-
3.00 Credits
Also offered as GEOG123, and GEOL123. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: AOSC123, GEOG123, GEOL123, or METO123. Formerly METO123. This course offers a unique experience in integrating physical, chemical, geological and biological sciences with geographical, economic, sociological and political knowledge skills toward a better understanding of global change. Review of environmental science relating to weather and climate change, acid precipitation, ozone holes, global warming and impacts on biology, agriculture and human behavior. Study of the natural, long-term variability of the global environment, and what influence mankind may have in perturbing it from its natural evolution. Concepts of how physical, biological and human behavioral systems interact, and the repercussions which may follow from human endeavors. The manner in which to approach decision and policy making related to issues of global change.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and one hour of discussion/recitation per week. CORE Physical Science Lab (PL) course only when taken concurrently with AOSC201. Prerequisites: MATH110 or MATH115. Recommended as a corequisite: AOSC201/METO201. Formerly METO200. Broad survey of the state of knowledge and problems of atmospheric science. Origin and structure of the atmosphere, meteorological observations, weather maps, forecasting, satellites, energetics, wind, general circulation, storms, severe weather, climate change, air pollution.
-
1.00 Credits
Two hours of laboratory per week. CORE Physical Science Lab (PL) course only when taken concurrently with AOSC200. Corequisite: AOSC200/METO200. Formerly METO201. Laboratory exercises to supplement AOSC200, including weather observations, weather map analysis, use of the Internet, forecasting practice and climate modeling.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH140, AOSC/GEOG/GEOL123, or permission of department. Recommended: MATH141, PHYS141, PHYS171, or PHYS161. Also offered as GEOG346, GEOL346. The Earth System operates through some fundamental cycles such as water, energy, and the carbon cycles. This course will build on GEOL/GEOG/AOSC123 starting with concept of feedbacks within the Earth System, global energy balance and the Greenhouse Effect. A brief introduction to the atmospheric and oceanic circulation will lead to the water cycle connecting the land, ocean, and atmosphere to the Earth System. Introduction to the Global carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycles will be followed by the concept of long-term climate regulation and short-term climate variability. The concepts of cycles, feedbacks, forcings, and responses in the Earth System will be applied to Global Warming and Ozone Depletion.
-
3.00 - 6.00 Credits

-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MATH141, PHYS161, PHYS171 or permission of department. Formerly METO400. The atmosphere and its weather and climate systems. Composition of the atmosphere, energy sources and sinks, winds, storms and global circulation. The application of basic classical physics, chemistry and mathematics to the study of the atmosphere.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: AOSC400/METO400. Formerly METO401. The global weather and climate system; the natural variability of the atmosphere-ocean-biosphere. Potential human effects: greenhouse effects, deforestation, acid rain, ozone depletion, nuclear winter. Social, political and economic effects of changes in global environment. Policy options.
