-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
No course description available.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite, PS 214 and PS 215, or ES 110 and ES 111.) Studies include observational evidence for the heliocentric model of the solar system; the solar system with concentration upon the moon and lunar exploration; techniques for studying and physical characteristics of remote stellar bodies; and current concepts regarding the nature and dynamacy of the universe as a system.
-
4.00 Credits
(Prerequisites, ES110/111, CH123 and GB100 or GB140.) Lectures, laboratory, and field trips covering soil classification, determination of soil physical and chemical properties such as particle size analysis, bulk density, cation exchange capacity, nutrient analysis, and soil conservation.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite, ES 110 and ES 111.) The processes that have shaped the Earth's surface are studied with the aid of topographic maps and aerial photographs. The influence that rock type and geologic structure has in producing land forms is stressed.
-
2.00 - 5.00 Credits
(Prerequisite, ES 110 and ES 111.) Study of landforms and landscape development in the field. Techniques for description, surveying, mapping, and interpretation of landforms in a natural setting. Practical application of geomorphology to terrain analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisites, ES 351.) Theory and use of computer systems for capture, storage, analysis, and plotting of spatial information. Vector and raster geographic information systems, digitizing data, and spatial analysis. Practical applications of computer mapping systems. Two hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week, plus field trips.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite, ES 351.) Techniques of small-format aerial photography. Acquisition of air photos with conventional cameras as well as compact digital cameras. Low-altitude, large-scale photography from airplanes, kites and balloons. Handling, scanning, processing, interpretation, enhancement, and display of analog and digital aerial images. Practical field and laboratory exercises. Course is designed for students in the geospatial analysis program.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
(Prerequisites, ES 110 and ES 111.) The student may concentrate in an area of the earth sciences for which no regular course is available if there are adequate texts, library holdings, and laboratory resources. Examples of the possible areas of study are: Vertebrate Paleontology, Invertebrate Paleontology, Crystallography, Structural Geology, Economic Geology, Ground Water Geology, Environmental Geology, Optical Mineralogy, and Geophysics. *The blank will be filled with an appropriate short description on the student's transcript to indicate the subject area studied.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
(Prerequisites, ES 110 and ES 111, or ES 254, or GE 254.) The seminar is designed to provide an opportunity for in-depth examination of selected topics of physical geography. It is a geographical analysis of the spatial characteristics of one or more factors that constitute the physical environment. The seminar specifically treats such subjects as climate, soils, landforms, and biogeography.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite, ES 110, ES 111, and GO 325.) The unique combination of natural forces both present and prehistoric have made the Great Plains region unlike any other on the North American continent. The extreme diversity of weather elements, the remote location relative to geologic orogenic upheavals, and the long inundation of prehistoric shallow seas sets this part of the continent apart from the rest. Various aspects of the physical distinctiveness of the Great Plains will be examined in this course.
