3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to geoscience for non-science majors. It covers earth's origin, plate tectonics, earth materials, the geologic record, hydrologic processes and water resources, geological hazards, the climate system, and mineral and energy resources.
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasizes the evolution and history of life on earth. Introduces the geologic time scale, the basics of minerals and rocks, and the tectonic history of the earth. Stresses methods of fossilization, interpretation of basic sedimentary environments, and examples of the major types of animal and plant fossils from each of the geologic eras.
-
3.00 Credits
Explores the earth's internal and external processes. Interprets the roles these processes play in human habitation of the planet. Evaluates the interplay occurring between humans and the earth, as in the distribution of resources and the development of civilization.
-

-
1.00 Credits
Accompanying laboratory course for GEO 1220. Corequisite: GEO 1220
Corequisite:
GEO 1220
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the principles of interdisciplinary earth science and the earth system. Course topics encompass interconnected geologic, hydrologic, biologic, and atmospheric processes. Students gain understanding of the scientific process and practice critical thinking about science's role in societal issues.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores various ways to counter the myth that science operates independently from society. Not only do the results of science ? knowledge and technology ? affect our social, cultural, and economic lives, but the practice of science is shaped by its social, cultural, and economic context. This course will build student?s scientific literacy and evaluation skills. Through the use of current issues in society and science, students will examine, analyze and evaluate the impact of the scientific issue on society (and vice versa).
-
2.00 Credits
Designed to familiarize students with a paleontological laboratory and teach them basic techniques of fossil preservation. Covers procedures, vocabulary, and includes hands-on experience. Students are introduced to fossil care, identification, preservation techniques, molding and casting, basic osteology, and collection laws.
