-
2.00 Credits
Supervised undergraduate research in any one of the various fields of geology. May be repeated but will not meet the requirement of nine hours of 4000 courses as listed above. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Geologic and geochemical processes of the oceans. Chemistry of seawater; geochemical and biogeochemical cycles; carbonate sediment production. Prerequisite: CHEM 1441 and CHEM 1442.
-
3.00 Credits
Understanding our dynamic Earth through the study of seafloor spreading, subduction and continental collision. This course will examine the geophysical evidence for plate tectonics: magnetism, gravity, and heat flow; and will review the history of plate motions and their effect on climate, evolution, and the formation of natural resources. Prerequisite: GEOL 3443.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of continuum mechanics to understanding deformation in the earth, including mechanical analysis of natural geologic structures such as faults, folds, lava flows, and dikes, as well as practical problems related to reservoir geomechanics and mining applications. Prerequisites: GEOL 3443, MATH 2325 and PHYS 1444
-
3.00 Credits
Geological topics not treated in the regular curriculum. Topic, format, and prerequisites to be determined by the instructor. May be repeated for geology elective credit as different topics are offered.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces sequence stratigraphy within context of all stratigraphy and history of sequence stratigraphy. Includes overview of sequence stratigraphy principles. Review of basic fundamental concepts of surface- and facies-based physical stratigraphy. Review of architectural element analysis, sequence stratigraphic in seismic, borehole expression of sequences and overview of subsurface stratigraphic techniques.
-
3.00 Credits
The geochemistry of natural waters with emphasis on processes that control solute concentrations including complexation reactions, oxidation and reduction reactions, biogeochemistry, and chemical weathering reactions. Prerequisites: GEOL 2445 and CHEM 1441.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the fundamental physical principles, theory, and techniques of geophysics. Topics include gravity and magnetic fields, heat-flow, earthquakes and elastic wave propagation, and geodesy. Emphasis will be on how geophysical data are used to constrain plate tectonic processes as well as the internal structure and dynamics of the solid Earth. Prerequisites: GEOL 3443; MATH 2425.
-
3.00 Credits
Hydrologic cycle, Darcy's law, hydraulic properties, aquifer types and materials, groundwater flow to wells, fracture flow, vadose zone flow, groundwater chemistry, and groundwater modeling. Prerequisite: PHYS 1441 or PHYS 1443.
-
3.00 Credits
Sources and types of organic and inorganic contaminants; the physical, chemical, and biological factors and processes that affect the transport and fate of contaminants in the subsurface; non-aqueous phase liquids and multiphase flow; and various remedial techniques of contaminated sites. Prerequisite: GEOL 4320 (or concurrent enrollment).
