3.00 Credits
This course introduces fluvial geomorphology through the reading of landscapes and riverscapes. Students learn to appreciate riverscape diversity, in which distinctive suites of physical and biotic processes (behavior) help shape landscape form and character. Weekend field trips are required. Additional coursework is required for those enrolled in the graduate-level course. Cross-listed as: GEO 6150 and WATS 5150/WATS 6150.
-
5.00 Credits
Integrative approach to examining geologic relationships in the field, deciphering geologic evolution of map regions, and interpreting the structure and distribution of rocks. Results presented in reports, maps, cross-sections, and graphical formats. Requires 40-45 hours of lab per week for 3.5-4.0 weeks. Prerequisite/Restriction: GEO 2800, GEO 3550, GEO 3600, GEO 3700, GEO 4700.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an applied, geoscience workforce-focused field course. Practical geoscience skills, including field mapping, lithologic logging and well-log analyses, water and soil sampling, and surveying are combined with professional skills such as safety, site assessment, and reporting. Prerequisites/Restrictions: GEO 3800 GEO 4500 GEO 4700
-
3.00 Credits
Provides students with a basic understanding of volcanic processes. Students gain an understanding of the range and scope of volcanoes and volcanic eruptions. Prehistoric volcanic eruptions reconstructed from their deposits. To receive graduate credit, student must write student grant proposal to do research in some area of volcanology relevant to hazards assessment. Cross-listed as: GEO 6360
-
2.00 Credits
Students collect sedimentary rocks, make thin sections, use polarizing microscopes to identify common sedimentary minerals and characterize rock properties, classify siliclastic and carbonate rocks, propose a research project, and write and present the results of the project to peers. Crosslisted as: GEO 6390 Prerequisite: GEO 2800
-
3.00 Credits
Students study correlation of clastic and carbonate rocks, and depositional and erosional systems in marine and continental sedimentary basins, learning sequence stratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, paleomagnetism and biostratigraphy, sedimentary responses to changes in base level, and influences of tectonic and climatic forces. Crosslisted as: GEO 6410 Prerequisite: GEO 3550
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed as an introduction to ore deposits and ore-forming processes. The chief objectives are (1) a basic understanding of how ore deposits form, (2) to learn how ore deposits are classified, and (3) to understand the origins of different types of ore deposits. The primary focus is on metallic mineral deposits, but some of the more important non-metallic deposits will also be covered, excluding hydrocarbons. Graduate students will write an additional research proposal. Prerequisites: GEO 2800; GEO 4500 recommended Also Taught As: GEO 6420
-
3.00 Credits
This course surveys prominent invertebrate groups, including their diagnostic morphologic features, stratigraphic ranges, and environmental tolerances. It equips students with the necessary information and techniques to enable them to recognize and utilize fossils in stratigraphic and paleoenvironmental interpretation. Additional coursework is required for those enrolled in the graduate-level course. Crosslisted as: GEO 6430 Prerequisite/Restriction: GEO 3200.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers interrelationships between various plants and their environment, providing field, laboratory, and quantitative techniques for interpreting ancient environments and analyzing past botanical interrelationships. The course is half semester, with three lectures and one lab per week. Additional coursework is required for those enrolled in the graduate-level course. Cross-listed as: GEO 6440.
-
3.00 Credits
Detailed interpretation of sedimentary rocks, based on petrography and sedimentary characteristics. Source terranes, tectonic settings, depositional environments, and diagenetic changes during burial. Three lectures and two labs per week. Half semester. Prerequisite/Restriction: GEO 2800 and GEO 3550. Cross-listed as: GEO 6460.
