-
3.00 Credits
A study of the physical and cultural aspects of each major geographic region of the world, with an emphasis on the relationship between physiographic/climactic features and a region's society, economy, and politics.
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory applications of oceanographic topics including earth structure, tectonics, ocean basin morphology, continental margin classifications, ocean sediment types and distribution, water chemistry, ocean water layers, atmospheric circulation patterns, oceanic circulation patterns, waves, tides, coastline classifications, life development in the ocean, distribution of life in the ocean, marine resources, marine communities, and environmental issues concerning the ocean. This course is designed for non-science majors. Prerequisite: GEOL 1113 or concurrent enrollment. Cross-listed with LFSC 1111.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to physical and biological oceanography. The physical, chemical and geological aspects of oceanography will be explored, as well as, the biological and ecological aspects. Topics include: description and origin of features on the sea floor; evolution of the ocean basins; chemistry of sea water; influence of oceans on weather and climate; formation of waves, tides, currents; factors affecting biological productivity; biological diversity and distribution; marine communities; marine habitats; environmental issues and concerns; and economic resources. Prerequisite: Student must be eligible to enroll in a college-level math class. Cross listed with LFSC 1113.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the composition of the earth and the modification of its surface by internal and external processes. Includes examination of the Earth's interior, magnetism, gravity, position in space, minerals, rocks, structures, and geological processes. Lab fee $7.00. Field trip required. Prerequisite: Student must be eligible to enroll in a college-level math course.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to the applications of basic principles and theories in paleontology (evolution, taxonomic systematics, invertebrate/ vertebrate morphology and relationships) and geology (geologic time, earth history, plate tectonics, sedimentation and stratigraphy). The interrelationships and interactions of the physical world with the biosphere and its impact on the evolutionary development of life on earth will be examined through the use of models, specimens, statistical analysis, etc. in a laboratory setting. Included in the laboratory studies will be examinations and comparisons of both extant and extinct specimens of all important fossil forming taxonomic groups. Prerequisite: GEOL 1123 or concurrent enrollment. Cross listed with LFSC 1121.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the basic processes and theo- ries concerning the development of life on earth. Topics will include plate tectonics, radiometric age dating, relative age dating, stratigraphic principles, the organization of life, the development of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and organisms, taxonomic nomenclature, modern genetics and modern evolutionary theory. Cross listed with LFSC 1123.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the geologic history of the earth including the processes involved in the formation of the continents and oceans. The relationships of continents and oceans to the origin and evolution of life are examined within a time perspective. A field trip is required. Lab fee $7.00. Prerequisite: GEOL 1114 or permission of the instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
Field applications of paleontological and geological concepts and practices. This course will consist of several area field trips to examine fossils in situ. Included in the field exercises are mapping projects, fossil collecting procedures, field documentation procedures, and other pertinent field applications. In addition, in laboratory time will consist of follow-up procedures for sample processing and preservation. Prerequisite: GEOL 1133 or concurrent enrollment. Cross listed with LFSC 1131.
-
3.00 Credits
This course presents an in-depth examination of the beginning of life as prokaryotic organisms and its increasing complexity as eukaryotic metazoans. The complex interactions of life with their physical world and constantly changing environment is included. This course examines the progression and distribution of life on earth. Prerequisite: LFSC 1123 or GEOL 1123. Cross listed with LFSC 1133.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of special topics and special interest courses in geology. These courses offer special instruction in current topics in geology. May consist of specialized geology courses offered to technical personnel of area companies, agencies, or other select groups in the community. Lecture and laboratory hours variable.
