  • Geology 108: Environmental Geology

    4.00 Credits
    Allegheny College

    Application of geologic principles toward understanding Earth processes emphasizing interactions between humanity and the physical Earth. Designed as an introduction to geology, the course includes basic concepts of Earth materials (rocks and minerals), Earth structure, and surficial environments. Topics include water resources and contamination, land use planning, natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides and floods, energy and economic resources, and environmental regulations and policies. Laboratory or field work, one period. May not be taken after successful completion of Geology 110.

  • Geology 110: Physical Geology

    4.00 Credits
    Allegheny College

    The study of Earth properties and the dynamics of geologic systems to provide a basic understanding of the resources, environments, and evolution of our planet. The course considers Earth materials, interior structure of the planet, Earth surface processes, landform development, environmental geology, and physical evolution of the Earth. Specific topics include minerals and rocks, plate tectonics, ocean basins, continents, river and groundwater systems, glaciers, volcanism and earthquakes. Laboratory or field work, one period. May not be taken after successful completion of Geology 108.

  • Geology 120: Earth History and Evolution

    4.00 Credits
    Allegheny College

    The study of Earth history and large-scale processes affecting our planet's evolution and present-day dynamics. Principles and techniques for system analysis are applied to the lithological, paleontological, and geochemical records to develop an understanding of atmosphere evolution, tectonic history, paleogeography, long-term environmental change, and biological evolution. Modern natural systems, laboratory projects involving rock suites and fossils, and models are used to demonstrate analytical approaches and aspects of Earth history. Laboratory one period. Prerequisite: Geology 108 or 110. Students who have taken FSGeo201 prior to Fall 2006 may not take Geology 120.

  • Geology 250: Mineralogy and Petrology

    4.00 Credits
    Allegheny College

    Origin and composition of Earth's crustal systems. Mineralogy, chemistry, and textures of rocks are learned through hand sample and microscopic analysis. Includes basics of crystallography, optical properties of minerals, and use of the polarizing microscope. Emphasizes interpretation of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock associations in relation to tectonic settings. Laboratory, one period. May include a multi-day field trip. Prerequisites: Geology 108 or 110. Geology 120 is strongly recommended. Offered alternate years.

  • Geology 301: Coastal Processes and the Environment

    2.00 Credits
    Allegheny College

    An examination of geomorphology, sedimentology, and environmental problems of modern coastal zones with special emphasis upon physical processes of the environment. The crucial link between understanding modern process-response relationships and meaningful analysis of the rock record is demonstrated throughout the course. Field trip: Barrier Island coast of Georgia. Credit: Two semester hours.

  • Geology 301-304: Topics in Geology

    4.00 Credits
    Allegheny College

    Lectures and seminar-style discussions on selected topics in geology. Central themes vary on an alternate-year basis. Study includes textbook readings, critical analysis of research articles, indoor laboratory demonstrations, and a five to seven day field-laboratory experience at the conclusion of the course. The field trip provides an unusual opportunity to observe and exercise science introduced earlier in the course. The courses (Geology 301, 302, 303, and 304) run for about one-half of the Spring Semester and are closed to students enrolled in Geology 580. Prerequisites: Geology 108 or 110, 120 (concurrent registration is acceptable), and permission of the instructor.
