This 3-week field course will serve as an introduction to geology by looking at the land around us: glacial features, sedimentary rocks, and the structures they form when continents collide. We will travel by van to six different states and visit some famous rock outcrops and glacial features, collect from some of the best fossil localities in the world, investigate some environmental geology problems (hazardous waste disposal and groundwater pollution, landslides, mining benefits and costs), and see how the Appalachian mountains were made. The course is constructed, operated, and graded assuming no prior geologic experience. Students will have multiple opportunities to observe, measure, and interpret at the outcrop level, and work together to piece together the history of a region. Discussion will proceed from what is observed to what is interpreted/inferred to its regional/larger significance. The course is carried out mostly in the field away from Cleveland; tent camping and hiking are required. Course fee in addition to summer tuition rates.

3.00 Credits
An examination of the geological processes that have shaped the planets and moons of the inner solar system, focusing on those with relevance to our own planet Earth. Following an introduction to the fundamentals of planetary geology, lectures and exercises will explore how the inner planets (the asteroids, Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, and Mars) exhibit the effects of planetary differentiation, impact cratering, volcanic activity, tectonics, climate, and interactions with life.

3.00 Credits
Introduction to geologic processes and materials that shape the world we live in. Hydrologic cycle and evolution of landscapes. Earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, and geologic resources. Students desiring laboratory experience should enroll in EEPS 119 concurrently.

The sciences of oceanography. Physical, chemical, biologic, and geologic features and processes of the oceans. Differences and similarities between the oceans and large lakes including the Great Lakes. Required: Sunday field trip.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the study of weather and climate. Covers the basics of meteorology, climate zones, the hydrologic cycle, and weather prediction. Lectures address timely topics including greenhouse warming, past global climates, and recent advances in meteorology.
-
