5 hours (2, lecture; 3, lab), 4 credits. PREREQ: GEO 100 or 101, and GEO 244.
-
4.00 Credits
5 hours (3, lecture; 2, lab), 4 credits. The deformation of the earth's crust: mechanics of rock deformation. Concepts of stress and strain: behavior of rocks under stress. Results of experimental rock deformation, and their application to naturally deformed rocks. Description and analysis of large- and small-scale structures and the mechanisms that produce them. Selected regional examples. Laboratory studies include orthographic and stereographic projection techniques of problem-solving and work with maps and cross-sections. Field experience. PREREQ: GEO 167 and plane geometry. RECOMMENDED: PHY 168.
-
3.00 Credits
90 hours (fieldwork and lab), 3 credits. ( Between spring and summer sessions.) One day of laboratory work and ten days of selected field problems in New York State, New England, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania. Areas will vary from year to year. Geologic maps will be made from topographic or air photo bases and will be supplemented by written reports on the individual areas. PREREQ: Either GEO 167 or GEO 244. Note: For estimated costs and dates of registration and fieldwork, consult the Department Chair.
-
4.00 Credits
5 hours (3, lecture; 2, lab), 4 credits. PREREQ: Either GEO or CHE majors.
-
4.00 Credits
5 hours (3, lecture; 2, lab), 4 credits. In-depth study of environmental biogeochemical processes and issues, ranging from aquatic to terrestrial systems. Computer and biogeochemistry laboratory exercises are designed to provide experience in national and transnational environmental analysis. PREREQ: GEH 235 or Departmental permission.
-

3 hours, 3 credits. PREREQ: GEO 100 or 101, GEO 244, and MAT 141 and 176.
-
4.00 Credits
5 hours (3, lecture; 2, lab), 4 credits. Plate Tectonics as a unifying theory: the driving mechanisms of crustal deformation. Evidence supporting sea-floor spreading and plate motions: geophysical and geologic data. Description and comparison of active and ancient tectonic belts. Implications of plate tectonics, continental drift, and mountain building, the role of plate tectonic cycle in renewal of Earth's surface, and relation with other biogeochemical cycles. Readings from original papers. Laboratories include geologic map study of older tectonic belts and techniques of measuring, plotting, and interpreting structural data of deformed rocks. PREREQ: GEO 166 OR 101 AND 167.
-
2.00 Credits
2 hours, 2 credits; maximum, 4 credits. Major topics of current interest in geology. Topic and instructor will change each semester. PREREQ: GEO 244 and one 300-level GEO course.
-
