3.00 Credits
GEO 3400 is a communications intensive (CI) course that builds a foundation in geoscience writing, critical thinking, data processing and presentation, and oral presentation. Collectively, these skills facilitate communication and understanding of Earth science. Basic skills developed in this course are utilized in upper-division Geology major courses. Prerequisites: GEO 1110 Corequisite: GEO 2200
-
4.00 Credits
Students learn classification and analysis of sedimentary rocks and structures, with an emphasis on interpretation of ancient sedimentary environments. Controls on sedimentary processes over time and principles of stratigraphic correlation are taught in three lectures and one lab per week. Prerequisite: GEO 2200 MATH 1060, MATH 1210, or AP Calculus AB score of 3 or higher
-
4.00 Credits
Students learn about geomorphic processes, origin of landforms and surficial deposits. The course emphasizes fluvial and hillslope landscape elements, and surficial geologic mapping. Both lectures and labs are included. Prerequisite/Restriction: MATH 1060, MATH 1100, MATH 1210, or AP Calculus AB score of 3 or higher, or instructor permission PHYS 2210 recommended Cross-listed as: WATS 3600. Semester(s) Traditionally Offered: Fall
-
4.00 Credits
Students examine the geometries, mechanisms, and mechanics of rock deformation including stress and strain relationships as well as fault and fold classification and description. Labs present techniques to interpret deformed rocks in map, cross-section, and three-dimensional views. Prerequisites: GEO 3550 PHYS 2210 (may be taken concurrently) PHYS 2215 (may be taken concurrently) Semester(s) Traditionally Offered: Spring
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on obtaining pre-professional geoscience training for students entering a range of geoscience careers.

Prerequisites/Restrictions: GEO 3200 GEO 3500
-
4.00 Credits
Origin, processes of formation, classification, and identification of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Study of igneous and metamorphic rocks in hand specimens and thin sections. Three lectures and one three-hour lab per week. Prerequisite/Restriction: GEO 2800
-
3.00 Credits
Collection, recording, and interpretation of geologic deposits and processes in the field. Written reports with geologic maps, cross-sections, and graphs are required. Two extended lab periods per week, weekend day trips, and one lecture per week. Fieldwork will end early. Prerequisite/Restriction: GEO 3600 (may be taken concurrently), GEO 3700, or instructor permission.
