3.00 Credits
This course provides the student with exposure to the basic concepts and subdivisions of the discipline of Geography. In addition to providing basic literacy in the discipline, the course shows how an understanding of geography aids one┐s ability to evaluate the reasons behind the physical patterns of contemporary life. (GEOG 1300)
-
3.00 Credits
Key geographic topics of location, population, political status, natural environment, economy, potentialities and problems as they relate to major geographic regions are discussed. (GEOG 1303)
-
3.00 Credits
Selected topics in geography. Course may be repeated for credit when topics vary.
Corequisite:
Junior standing or consent of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the interactions among people, cultures, and natural surroundings. Selected regions in the world will be explored for the dynamic patterns they reveal in the relationships among population, social organization, environment and technology. Focal topics include language, dialect, architecture, religion, cultural aspects of cities, economics, agriculture, medicine, resources, politics, and their connection to physical/topographic features.
Corequisite:
Graduate standing
-
3.00 Credits
A course for non-science majors focusing on the study of the atmosphere ┐ its composition, structure and properties ┐ with emphasis on the processes responsible for weather, climate controls and change and the impact of atmospheric phenomena on society. Students will collect, analyze and synthesize online, real-time weather data in order to understand current weather conditions and be able to make predictions of future weather circumstances. Laboratory fee required: $8. 2 additional laboratory or activity hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture-laboratory approach to physical geology for nonscience majors that will employ traditional and specimen approaches along with petrography and computer exercises. Geomorphology and structural geology will be integrated with basic map reading and will consider public debates on seismic risk analysis, coastal erosion, stream/flood control, and the influences these have on modern culture. Laboratory fee required: $8. 2 additional laboratory or activity hours per week. (GEOL 1301)
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture-laboratory approach to historical geology for nonscience majors that will employ hand specimen and other techniques for the identification of fossils and will include major controversies involving the tempo and mode in evolution as well as discussion of the origin of life and coevolution of our planet and life on it. Exercises will teach principles of structure geology, sequence of events, fundamental stratigraphic concepts and graphic correlation. These various structural and stratigraphic analyses will be united in interpretation of geologic maps and their application to human culture. Laboratory fee required: $8. 2 additional laboratory or activity hours per week. (GEOL 1302)
Corequisite:
GEOL 1307 or equivalent
-
3.00 Credits
A paleobiological study of the reptiles popularly known as dinosaurs, along with the biotic and abiotic aspects of the environments during the time in which they lived. Laboratory fee required: $8. 2 additional laboratory or activity hours per week.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the materials that make up the crust of our planet, evolution of landforms, structure and earth movements, including plate tectonics and the gross structure of the Earth. Credit for both GEOL 1405 and GEOL 1307 may not be applied toward a degree. Science majors may not receive credit for GEOL 1307. Laboratory fee required: $8. 3 additional laboratory or activity hours per week. (GEOL 1403)
-
4.00 Credits
Study of concepts about the Earth and its history from ancient to modern times, and development of the geological time scale. Includes examination of how geologists interpret geological time and the coevolution of our planet and the life on it. Credit for both GEOL 1406 and GEOL 1308 may not be applied toward a degree. Science majors cannot receive credit for GEOL 1308. Laboratory fee required: $8. 3 additional laboratory or activity hours per week. (GEOL 1404)
