3 cr, 2 lec, 2 lab An introduction to the scientific study of earthquakes. Early ideas about earthquakes and continental drift versus the modern theory of seafloor spreading and plate tectonics will be used as models for understanding earthquakes. The occurrence of earthquakes, both from a world-wide and local perspective, as well as their relation to volcanism, will be examined. Earthquake risk and earthquake preparedness will compliment the course with an understanding of how earthquake position, strength, and magnitude are determined. The use of the Modified Mercalli intensity and Richter magnitude scales will be applied and information regarding earthquake prediction will be covered.

3.00 Credits
4 cr, 3 lec, 3 lab W, G Online Weather Studies covers the composition and structure of the atmosphere, the flows of energy to, from, and through the atmosphere, and the resulting weather phenomena ranging in scale from local to regional to global. The physical principles of atmospheric phenomena are stressed in the understanding of weather's impact on humans, particularly with regard to severe weather. Methods of analysis are developed through the study of current weather as meteorological data are delivered via the Internet. PRE: ENG 101 eligibility or appropriate reading score
-
3.00 Credits
1 cr, 1 lec Introduction to ArcGIS, ESRI's full-featured GIS software for visualizing, creating, managing, and analyzing geographic data. This course provides the foundation for becoming a successful user.
-
1.00 Credits
