-
3.00 Credits
CORE Distributive Studies Physical Science Laboratory Course only when taken concurrently with GEOL 110. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: GEOL100 or GEOL120. A general survey of the rocks and minerals composing the earth, its surface features and the agents that form them, and the dynamic forces of plate tectonics.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: GEOL100 or GEOL120, and GEOL110 or permission of department. Earth's history as revealed through the principles of stratigraphy and the processes of physical geology. Emphasis on formations and geologic development of the North American continent.
-
3.00 Credits
Dinosaurs, their evolution, and our understanding of their fossil record. Students will examine the geologic record and the tools used by paleontologists to determine: geologic ages and ancient environments; evolutionary history and extinctions; dinosarian biology and behavior; and their survival as birds. Mechanisms of global change ranging from plate tectonics to asteroid impact will be discussed.
-
1.00 Credits
Three hours of laboratory per week. CORE Distributive Studies Physical Science Laboratory Course only when taken concurrently with GEOL 100. Pre- or corequisite: GEOL100 or GEOL120. The basic materials and tools of physical geology stressing familiarization with rocks and minerals and the use of maps in geologic interpretations.
-
3.00 Credits
Credit will be granted for only one of the following: GEOL100 or GEOL120. A review of geologic factors underlying many environmental problems and the interactions between population and physical environment: geologic hazards, land-use planning, conservation, mineral resources, waste disposal, land reclamation, and the geologic aspects of health and disease. The course is aimed at lower division students in education and liberal arts, and should be useful to any student concerned with geologic perspectives of environmental problems.
-

Also offered as AOSC123 and GEOG123. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: AOSC123, GEOG123, GEOL123, or METO123. This course offers a unique experience in integrating physical, chemical, geologic, 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. An exploration of how life has shaped Earth's physical environments, both in the contemporary Earth and over the long course of Earth history. Topics range from evidence for the origin and diversification of life and its impact on Earth environments to the mind-set and methods of the scientists who interpret it, and what those methods tell us about future interactions between life and the environment, both on Earth and in the Solar System.
