4.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): GEOL 1040 and CHEM 1110 or permission of the instructor. Mineralogy is the study of minerals through their crystal structure and morphology, and their optical properties. Students will learn to identify the major rock forming and accessory minerals, their environments of formation, and their common associations.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): GEOL 3001 and CHEM 1110. Economic Geology is a study of the origin, nature, distribution, and exploitation of industrial mineral deposits, the major metallic minerals, fossil and mineral fuels, alternate energy sources.
-
4.00 Credits
Principles of taxonomy, classification, paleoecology, evolution, and geologic records of the major invertebrate phyla are considered. Three credits lecture and two laboratory periods each week.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): GEOL 1050, BIOL 1120, or permission of instructor. The goal of this course is to provide a general overview of vertebrate evolution through time and to discuss how it is (and has been) interpreted from the fossil record. In addition, new theories and recent discoveries will be addressed (specifically, their relevance to past and current thinking). Two lectures and two laboratory sessions weekly.
-
2.00 Credits
Development of skills in the preparation of illustrations for publication and oral presentations. Topics include ink work, layout, proportion, reproduction materials and methods, lettering, and preparation. Course content is also relevant to other fields. One lecture and two laboratory periods each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): GEOL 1040 or permission of instructor. This course considers specifics in man's relationship to the physical environment. Natural environmental hazards, such as volcanoes, earthquakes, subsidence, soil flow, landslides, floods, and sedimentation, are examined. The limitations of natural resources and future projections are considered, along with the impact of man's demands upon the environment. Oil spills, surface mining, waste disposal, water supplies, and other problems of a geologic nature that are pertinent to the environment are discussed from the standpoint of specific case histories.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): GEOL 3001or permission of instructor. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are examined both in hand specimen and in thin section. The student learns to recognize component minerals and other important characteristics and to apply principles of rock classification and identification.
