3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOL 3395 or permission of instructor. The goal of this class is to prepare students for field work on established paleontological sites. The focus of class will be the Gray Fossil Site in Washington County, Tenn., but additional Pleistocene sites from the region will also be utilized. Four days in the field and one day in the classroom, weekly.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): GEOL 3001 or permission of instructor. The first part of the semester is devoted to the origin, classification, and interpretation of sediments and modern sedimentary environments. The second part is devoted to the recognition of these environments in the geologic record through stratigraphic analysis. The latter includes principles of correlation, stratigraphic paleontology, compilation of stratigraphic maps, and interpretation of the geologic column.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): GEOL 1040, MATH 1920 or permission of instructor. Real-world applications of geology in the field of engineering. Topics include soil properties, floods and flood control, dams, stream management and reconstruction, erosion and erosion control, mass movement, municipal waste treatment, septic systems, radioactive waste disposal, tunnels, geologic applications of explosives, permafrost, strip mining and mine reclamation, earthquakes, coastal management, etc.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): GEOL 1040, MATH 1920 or permission of instructor. Focus is on the description and analysis of geological structures within the Earth's crust, with an introduction to global tectonics. Includes the description of geological structures, the kinematics and dynamics of folding and faulting, stress, strain, deformation and rheology. Introduction to dislocation theory, principles of plate tectonics, micro-structural analysis, and selected orogenic systems of the world. Three lectures and two laboratory sessions weekly.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of department chair is required. The Department of Geosciences will require the completion of a senior Honors Thesis (GEOL 4899/4900) as a capstone course. A Geology faculty member, chosen by the student, will direct a year-long, 6-credit-hour, thesis project. Two additional committee members, one from Geology and one from outside the Geology Department, will serve on an advisory committee with the project director and also act as readers of the thesis. The student will enroll in GEOL 4900 for the spring semester of the project. The thesis will be publicly defended.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): Permission of department chair is required. This course is designed for students who would like to study an area of geology not covered in the curriculum. Students are expected to work independently, but under the close supervision of an instructor. A paper presenting their findings is required.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of department chair is required. The Cooperative Education agreement seeks to build partnerships between ETSU, students, and area geoscience industry and service providers. This course will give partial credit toward a capstone thesis, on a project to be mutually agreed upon by Geology faculty and a geoscience industrial group, which will result in the student working for a year on a 6-credit hour project that produces a thesis. The student will enroll in GEOL 4889 for the fall semester of the project.
