  • Geography 321s: Geographic Information Systems

    3.00 Credits
    Mount Holyoke College

    In this course, students will apply the skills they have learned in Geography 205 to a realworld problem in the region. Data from various sources are combined to create a spatial database from which a spatial model is derived. Synthesis and manipulation of vector and raster data, and geoprocessing operations are used to undertake an applied GIS analysis. Meets Science and Math II-B requirement E. Marcano Prereq.

  • Geology 100s: Physical Geology

    3.00 Credits
    Mount Holyoke College

    From earthquakes to landscapes, minerals to glaciers, this course introduces the surficial and internal processes of the earth. Learn to interpret the geology of your surroundings when traveling to new places and understand how geologic setting influences how people live.Labs focus on rock identification, map reading, the geology of fossil fuels and nuclear energy, and local field trips. Grades depend on four exams, lab exercises, and lab quizzes. Meets Science and Math II-B requirement M. Markley Prereq. Preference given to first- and secondyear students.; 4 credits

  • Geology 101f: Environmental Geology

    3.00 Credits
    Mount Holyoke College

    Our existence on the planet is greatly affected by changing environmental conditions. Some of these changes are "natural" (e.g., floods,earthquakes), but many directly result from human mismanagement (groundwater contamination, acid rain, the greenhouse effect). Although some of these problems are of local concern, an increasing number are of global scale. In this course, students develop an appreciation for the way the Earth's environment affects our lives. In the laboratory, students learn techniques to recognize and interpret environmental hazards and develop strategies to address environmental problems. Meets Science and Math II-B requirement A.Werner includes field trips; 25 spaces allocated to firstyear students; 4 credits

  • Geology 102s: History of Life

    4.00 Credits
    Mount Holyoke College

    Life forms have inhabited the surface of our planet for most of its history. Earth, as a result, has a unique geology that is unlike that of any other planet. In this course we will examine the interrelations between life processes and Earth's crust and atmosphere and how they work together to create the geology of the planet. Using both the rock and fossil record, we will study the origin and evolution of life, the history of continents and oceans, and the diversification of complex life forms. Laboratory and field trips will emphasize identification and analysis of sediments, rocks, and fossils. Meets Science and Math II-B requirement M. McMenamin 4 credits

  • Geology 103s: Oceanography

    4.00 Credits
    Mount Holyoke College

    Because more than 70 percent of our planet is covered by ocean water, the study of marine systems is crucial to our understanding of the Earth. In this course, we will examine chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes in the oceans at a variety of scales in time and space. We will explore how the Earth's oceans formed, how they provided the foundations for life, and how they continue to offer weather and climate, stabilize global chemical cycles, interact with the terrestrial environment, and give us access to resources.

  • Geology 115s: Convergence in Geologic Time

    3.00 Credits
    Mount Holyoke College

    (First-year seminar; writing-intensive course) This course will introduce students to recent advances in the study of convergent evolution in the history of life. In this class we will study the fossil record of convergent evolution using actual fossils and will also consider the likelihood of ancient convergence using simple computer models. The class will focus on helping students to read, write, discuss, and think clearly. Students will receive a broad survey of a wide variety of disciplines. This course is particularly well suited for first-year students. Does not meet a distribution requirement M. McMenamin Prereq. fy or permission of instructor; 4 credits

  • Geology 201f: Rocks andMinerals

    3.00 Credits
    Mount Holyoke College

    In this course you will learn to recognize the common rock-forming minerals and principal rock types, and to understand their origins, properties, associations, and geological significance. Observational skills and hand sample identification will be emphasized in lab and on field trips. Meets Science and Math II-B requirement S. Dunn Prereq. Prereq. high-school earth science and high-school chemistry, or any 100 level geology course; 4 credits

  • Geology 202s: History of Earth

    3.00 Credits
    Mount Holyoke College

    (Speaking- and writing-intensive course) This course explores major events in the past four billion years of earth history, the interaction of earth systems, and the design and testing of earth science theories. Some topics covered are: ice ages and greenhouse atmospheres, continental dri?, the nature of the sedimentary rock record, extinctions and radiations of flora and fauna, the early evolution of earth, and absolute and relative dating of rocks. Final grades depend on class and field trip participation, oral presentations, short papers, computer labs, and quizzes on the geologic time scale. Meets Science and Math II-B requirement M. Markley Prereq. high school earth science or any 100- level geology course or permission of instructor; 4 credits

  • Geology 203f: Surface Processes

    3.00 Credits
    Mount Holyoke College

    The surface of the Earth is a history book of past environmental change. Every hill and valley, every erosional feature, every deposit is the result of processes acting at the Earth's surface. In this course we study these processes (e.g., glaciers, rivers, slopes, coastlines, windblown sand, frozen ground, cave formation, soil development) to better understand how they work and to understand the resulting landforms and deposits. Armed with this understanding we can then observe different landforms and deposits and infer past process (environments of deposition). Fieldwork and trips allow students to explore firsthand the processes that have created and modified the Earth's surface. Meets Science and Math II-B requirement A.Werner Prereq. Geology 100 or 101; 4 credits
