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 5440.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of Earth's deep time record is critical for conceptualizing Earth's beginnings, biotic evolution, plate tectonics, and climate change. This course presents historical and cutting-edge research on such topics within the context of the geologic time scale. Much of the course will be taught in the field on a week-long field trip to Death Valley or Grand Canyon. Crosslisted with GEO 7450
-
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 5460.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the application of field observations, hand-sample, thin-section, and X-ray diffraction analyses to the interpretation of chemical sedimentary rocks. It emphasizes determination of depositional environment and evaluation of diagenetic changes. It includes three lectures and one lab per week. Additional coursework is required for those enrolled in the graduate-level course. Prerequisite(s)/Restriction(s): GEO 2800 GEO 3550 Cross/Dual listed as: GEO 5470
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides detailed coverage of sedimentary basin analysis techniques, including depositional systems, provenance, basin modeling, and fluid and heat flow history. It surveys types of sedimentary basins worldwide. Additional coursework is required for those enrolled in the graduate-level course. Prerequisite(s)/Restriction(s): GEO 2800 GEO 3550 Cross/Dual listed as: GEO 5480
-
3.00 Credits
This course will cover topics including sedimentary processes and results, contacts, facies analysis, sequence stratigraphy, and implications of sedimentologic studies. Lectures, field trips, literature review, and geologic writing will be emphasized, with 6000 level credit earned through student presentations and a semester project. Prerequisite: GEO 3550 Cross Listed as: GEO 5490
-
4.00 Credits
Advanced concepts in the origin and evolution of magmatic systems, effects of different tectono thermal regimes on magma genesis, magma dynamics, and phase equilibria in magmatic systems. Concepts illustrated by rock suites from classic locations. Three lectures and three laboratory hours each week. Prerequisite/Restriction: GEO 4500 or equivalent. Cross-listed as: GEO 5500.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Advanced topics of current interest in hydrology. Cross-listed as: GEO 7510. Repeatable for credit.
-
3.00 Credits
Survey of techniques used in groundwater investigations for collecting physical and chemical data. Includes well drilling and construction; water level, flow rate, and discharge measurements; hydraulic and tracer tests; and groundwater sampling. Prerequisite/Restriction: GEO 5510 or instructor permission. Cross-listed as: GEO 5520.
-
3.00 Credits
This course (which includes three lecture hours per week) covers the application of quantitative, computer-based methodologies to geologic problems, with emphasis on developing coding skills to leverage computational power. Previous experience with programming languages (R/MATLAB) is helpful but not required. Additional coursework is required for those enrolled in the graduate-level course, including student presentation on thesis research methodology. Prerequisites/Restrictions: GEO 3550 or GEO 3600 MATH 1210 Or instructor permission Cross-listed as: GEO 5540.
