4.00 Credits
Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: GEOL100 or GEOL120; GEOL110; and GEOL322; and one of the following: CHEM103, {CHEM131 and CHEM132} or {CHEM135 and CHEM136}. Description, origin, and distribution of sediments and sedimentary rocks. Two mandatory weekend field trips.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH140, AOSC/GEOG/GEOL123, or permission of department. Recommended: MATH141, PHYS141, PHYS171, or PHYS161. Also offered as AOSC346, GEOG346. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: AOSC346, GEOG346, or GEOL346. The Earth System operates through some fundamental cycles such as water, energy, and the Carbon Cycle. 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.

Introduction to physical, chemical, and biological properties of the ocean. Role of the ocean in climate as a component of the Earth system. El Nino and the ocean, impact of global warming on the ocean and marine habitats including fisheries.

3.00 Credits
Repeatable to 6 credits if content differs. Examination and investigation of Earth Science phenomena in the field, particularly geology. Involves field work of one week or a longer duration, which would normally involve both observations and data collection, with associated classroom lectures and/or laboratory study, normally including additional analysis of collected observations and data. Particular programs may require certain prerequisites. Permission of instructor required. Special fees may be necessary.
