GE 133: Exploring the Earth I: Origins and Systems Laboratory
0.00 Credits
Boston College
In laboratory students learn to identify the rocks and minerals that make up the earth, and develop their understanding of how volcanoes, streams and glaciers shape the landscape. Field trips will be taken so that students may observe and interpret geological features of New England for themselves.

GE 146: Origin and Evolution of Life on Earth
4.00 Credits
Boston College
This course explores current theories about the origins of life, beginning with the original hypothesis of the Russian biochemist, A.I. Oparin. Darwin's theory of evolution is emphasized, but many different components of the Natural Sciences touch upon this topic. The course lectures include the study of the oldest fossils, life in extreme habitats, cellular biology, prebiotic molecules and the search for life on other planets.

GE 150: Astronomy
3.00 Credits
Boston College
Astronomical observations and theories date back to before the beginning of recorded history. The development of astronomy is closely tied to the growth of physics, mathematics, philosophy and theology. This survey course covers many of the exciting recent advances in astronomy. Emphasis is on large-scale concepts and on how we know what we know about our universe, stars, and to some extent, planets and other bodies of our solar system.

GE 168: Environmental Geosciences II: Earth Processes and Risks
3.00 Credits
Boston College
This course will explore the dynamic processes operating on and within the earth, and how those processes can impact humans. We will explore the nature of natural disasters including river and coastal flooding, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, severe storms, climate changes, and bombardment by rare extraterrestrial objects. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the current science used to predict the occurrences of these disasters, how accurate those predictions are, and the associated mitigation practices.

GE 170: Rivers and the Environment
3.00 Credits
Boston College
Scientific understanding of rivers is vital to address many of today's environmental challenges. Rivers transport and distribute water, sediment, nutrients and contaminants throughout the landscape. They provide habitat and migration pathways for countless aquatic species. Rivers supply fresh water, power generation and recreational opportunities to much of the world's human populations. We will learn about the geological, hydrological and biological processes that are important to rivers and watersheds, and how knowledge of these processes aids our ability to manage, protect and restore these systems.

GE 172: Weather, Climate and the Environment
4.00 Credits
Boston College
The earth's atmosphere is a dynamic system, causing weather changes daily, seasonal variations on an annual basis, and climate changes on time scales from centuries to millennia and even longer. This course examines the earth's weather system at all these time scales. The latest methods in local weather forecasting are explored from the point of view of computer models and internet websites. The effects of ocean temperatures, El Ni?o, the extent of the earth's ice caps, and volcanic eruptions on the long-term weather patterns are described, and man-made environmental effects are explored. A one hour laboratory/discussion is required.
