4.00 Credits
A study of the 4.5 billion-year history of the earth based on information derived from rocks, minerals, and fossils. Trilobites, dinosaurs, saber tooth tigers are but a few of the organisms to be investigated. Prerequisite: Geol 101 NM Common Course Number: Geol 1214
-
3.00 Credits
Course in topic or topics in Geology. May be repeated with a change in content.
-
3.00 Credits
Individual, directed study arranged with an instructor. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
A course designed to instruct students in the geological principles that can be utilized to both prevent and ameliorate environmental problems.
-
4.00 Credits
Survey of sedimentary rock types, principles of description and classification, sediment genesis and transport, distribution and origin of sedimentary deposits. Includes paleoenvironmental determinations from analysis of modern marine, transitional, and continental environments with the information applied to problems in environmental geology. Course includes an investigation of evolution of life on a dynamic earth. The course will investigate stratigraphic and paleontologic principles to aid in paleoenvironmental interpretation and evolutionary studies. Students will gain an appreciation of the dynamic nature of the Earth and the importance of scientific thought processes. Laboratory portion of the course emphasizes lecture topics through handson laboratory experiences, including several field trips. Prerequisites: Geol 101 and 202.
-
4.00 Credits
Designed to introduce students to the essentials of minerals and rocks. Topics include the study of major groups of minerals and their crystal structures, crystal chemistry, symmetry, crystal growth, and mineral identification. Aspects of optical mineralogy will also be included. Prerequisite: Geol 101 or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the fundamentals of igneous and metamorphic rocks. The lecture will focus on the experimental and field evidence for interpreting rock associations, and the interplay between igneous and metamorphic rock formation and the plate tectonic model. Topics include textures, structures, microscopic identification, geochemistry, and rock classification as a background for discussing rock origins. Prerequisites: Geol 101, 320, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the materials that makeup the earth, their geologic settings, and the properties that make them useful to society. Topics include mineral chemistry, crystallography, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock minerals, mineral study techniques and formation processes. Prerequisite: Geol 101.
-
3.00 Credits
A detailed study of the forces acting on the Earth's crust and a resolution of these forces in terms of joints, faults, folds, uplifts, and related phenomena. Prerequisites: Geol 101, Math 120, Phys 151 or 291, or by permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Seminar course in topic or topics in Geology.
