GE 288: Geological Field Mapping Methods
4.00 Credits
Boston College
The goals of this course are to learn basic geologic mapping skills. The weekly meetings will focus on reading and constructing geological maps and cross sections, interpretation of field data, basic structural data processing and regional geology of the field area. The field component will be a two-week excursion after final exams, where skills learned throughout the term will be brought into practice in the field through mapping exercises and field trips.

GE 297: Environmental Hydrology
3.00 Credits
Boston College
An introduction to hydrological processes on and near the Earth's surface. Ground- water hydrology, the movement of water through the upper portion of the Earth, will be emphasized. Practical applications and problems in groundwater hydrology and the environment will be stressed.

GE 330: Paleobiology
4.00 Credits
Boston College
Paleobiology is the study of Evolution based on Paleontology, the fossil record of life through geologic time. The course begins with the origins of life and early evolution during the Precambrian Eon, when all major domains of life were estabilished. The rise of plants and animals, beginning about 500 million years ago, is followed by the study of macroevolution and patterns of evolution through time. Lecture emphases paleobiology and environmmental evolution; laboratory provides direct observation of fossils including basic morphology and phylogeny. The class may include an extended weekend fieldtrip to Nova Scotia to visit several fossil localities.

GE 370: Optical Mineralogy
2.00 Credits
Boston College
This course is an introduction to polarizing light microscopy (PLM) and its application to mineral identifications in petrographic thin sections. Students will learn the basic concepts of polarized light microscopy with the objective to identify isotropic, uniaxial, and biaxial minerals in rocks using a polarized light microscope. This course is equivalent to the first part of GE 570.

GE 372: Igneous Petrology
2.00 Credits
Boston College
This course is devoted to an understanding of the petrology and petrography of igneous rocks. Lectures on the petrology of how igneous rocks form and the plate tectonic environments in which they do so will be integrated with the laboratory (GE373) where students use the petrographic microscope to identify the mineral phases and textures that make up these rocks. Phase diagrams will be used to help better understand the origin of igneous rock processes.

GE 374: Sedimentary Petrology
2.00 Credits
Boston College
This course focuses on the recognition and identification of sedimentary rock types and the primary and secondary components that make up sedimentary rocks. The class will involve extensive analysis of sediment and sedimentary rock samples in hand specimen and thin section. The first part of this course will cover how siliciclastic rocks form and the second part will cover carbonates and other biochemical rocks. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on understanding and using classification schemes and identifying different rock types in hand sample and thin section.
