4.00 Credits
This course includes basic identification of rocks and minerals and microscopic study of minerals. Minerals will be studied in hand specimen and microscopically. Rocks will be studied in hand specimen. The formation of both minerals and rocks will be covered. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: GEY 1030 and CHE 1031 or consent of instructor. Lab fee $40. Fall, odd years.
-
4.00 Credits
Interpretation of sedimentary processes and depositional environments through the study of sedimentary rocks and their characteristics is the focus of this course. Identification of siliciclastic and carbonate sedimentary rocks, and recognition of textural features and sedimentary structures, along with vertical and lateral variation in lithology, provides the necessary data to interpret past environments of deposition, and how those environments have changed through time. The physical and chemical processes involved in weathering and diagenesis will be studied. Prerequisite: GEY 1030 or GEY 1050, and CHE 1031 or consent of instructor. Lab fee $40. Fall, even years.
-
1.00 Credits
An introductory field mapping course for students considering a geology major, and a prerequisite for summer field camp. This course will be conducted almost entirely outdoors, familiarizing students with geologic structures and stratigraphy in the field and how to map them. Use of the Brunton compass and other tools will be stressed. Prerequisite: GEY 1030 or GEY 1050. Fall, even years.
-
1.00 Credits
The student will assist the laboratory instructor with lab preparation and clean-up, will assist students in the laboratory, and may be asked to maintain a journal or complete some other form of reflective writing. May be taken more than once for credit. GEY 2810 INTERNSHIP IN GEOLOGY 1-12 cr Signed contract required at time of registration.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
The student must initiate the application with a written proposal to the instructor with whom the student wishes to work. Number of credits to be earned must be stated. The original proposal, signed by the student and the instructor, must be submitted to the department chair for approval. This process must be completed prior to registration for the semester in which credit is to be earned. Signed contract required at time of registration. Prerequisite: At least 16 prior credits in BIO, CHE, GEY, or PHY.
-
4.00 Credits
This course includes understanding the genesis of igneous rocks (intrusive and volcanic) and metamorphic rocks, including plate tectonic settings, mechanisms of magma production and rock metamorphism, and rock and mineral identification. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: GEY 1030, GEY 2010, CHE 1031 or equivalent, or permission of instructor. Lab fee $40. Spring, even years.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to show the application of chemical principles to the study of geology. Topics covered include aqueous geochemistry, activity-concentration relations, carbonate equilibria, pH- fO2 diagrams, isotope systems, and the application of geochemistry to solving environmental problems. Prerequisite: CHE 1031, CHE 1032, and GEY 1030. Spring, even years.
-
4.00 Credits
The origin and development of structural features of the earth's crust, folding, faulting, volcanism, metamorphism. Lecture and lab or field experience. Lab fee $40. Prerequisite: GEY 1030 or consent of instructor. Spring, odd years.
-
4.00 Credits
This is an applied hydrogeology course with lecture, laboratory and field experience. Course material will include the hydrologic cycle, ground water, wells, water quality/contamination and flow modeling. Lecture and lab. Prerequisite: GEY 1030, GEY 1050 or consent of the instructor. Lab fee $40. Fall, odd years.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is for advanced geology students interested in learning more about a special topic in geology. Examples of topics: ore deposits, oceanography, glaciation, and isotope systems in geology. Lab fee $10. Prerequisite: Two GEY courses or consent of instructor. May be repeated for credit. Periodically.
