4.00 Credits
This course introduces fundamental concepts associated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Topics include geospatial data models; data acquisition; data integration from global positioning systems (GPS) and geocoding. Additional class time will be devoted to data manipulation, presentation and editing. Prerequisites: Completion of MATH 0900 or test into MATH 0920 or higher. (3 lect., 3 lab.)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide support to students as they establish, design and complete a capstone project using geographic information systems (GIS). The completion of this project will require researching, planning, building, implementing, testing and presenting the GIS solution. Topics for this course include: project selection, developing a project plan, data capture and management, data analysis, data output and project closure. Prerequisites: Completion of GEOG 1200, GEOG 2310, and GEOG 2410. (3 lect.)
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides and introduction to the analysis techniques used in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the application of the techniques to GIS problem solving. Topics include analyzing and querying tabular data, editing and modification of GIS data, spatial joins, raster and vector analysis, and the use of overlay tools. Prerequisites: Completion of GEOG 2310. (3 lect., 3 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introductory level opportunity for students to design and conduct a field- or lab-based research project in anthropology, environmental science, human or physical geography, and/or applied geospatial science. The student will work with a faculty mentor to conduct a foundational literature review, discuss principles of scientific research and project design, perform supervised data collection and analysis, and present their work. Specific research topics will vary. (3 lect.)
-
1.00 Credits
This course provides an opportunity for students to design and conduct a field- or lab-based research project in anthropology, environmental science, human or physical geography, and/or applied geospatial science. The student will conduct a literature review, discuss scientific research and project design, perform relevant data collection and analysis, and present their work. Specific research topics will vary. (1 - 6 lect.) (Max 9)
-
1.00 Credits
This course will examine the basic theories, concepts and assumptions used in geology, focusing on the incredible natural geologic laboratory of the state of Wyoming. Topics will vary with offerings and may include (but are not limited to) vocanoes, glaciers, fossils, gems, mineral and petroleum resources, mountain building, or the formation of the geology of specific areas. Field trips may be required. This course may be repeated for a maximum of 4 credits applicable toward graduation. (1-2 lect.)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a broad introductory level course in earth and space science covering topics from physical and historical geology, meteorology, oceanography, planetary astronomy and stellar astronomy. It illustrates fundamental concepts, processes, products and the relationships between them. The course emphasizes the nature of science and relationships between selected topics and society. This course serves elementary education majors (who should also enroll in EDCI 1450 concurrently or the next semester) as well as other non-science majors. This course cannot be used for LSCI credit toward any A.S. degree in Science or Math. Students earning credit in GEOL 1070 may not earn credit in ASTR 1070. (3lect. 3 lab) LSCI
-
4.00 Credits
This course examines the modern concepts of Earth's physical makeup, the processes and forces acting on our planet, and the changes that occur with time. Specific course topics include: plate tectonics, planetary evolution and structure, geologic time, minerals and rocks, the rock cycle, earthquakes, volcanism, mountain building, the ocean floor, running water and groundwater. In addition, the topics of glaciers, deserts and shorelines, geologic hazards and economic resources may be included. Laboratory exercises will focus on mineral and rock identification, topographic maps and landscape formation. This course serves both majors and non-majors. A field trip is required. (3 lect., 3 lab) LSCI
-
2.00 Credits
This course, using the "field as a classroom", will examine the process of scientific inquiry. Through the interdisciplinary study of paleontology students will be exposed to major concepts in evolutionary biology and geology during field excursions, quarry work, and classroom discussions. Specific course topics include: geologic time, mountain building, sediment transport, deposition and erosion, soil formation, carbonate formation, carbon/oxygen stable isotope geochemistry, taphonomy, archosaurian anatomy, ichnology, and evolution of life. In addition, the topics of bone histology, fossil preparation, survey techniques, topo maps and GPS will be studied. This course is designed to serve students interested in a career in science. (1 lect., 3 lab)
-
1.00 Credits
This is a field-based course examining the geologic history of the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Emphasis is placed on recent geologic history including volcanism, glaciation and mountain build- ing processes. Several aspects of the ecology of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem are also included. Field trip-based courses; special field trip fees will apply. This course may be repeated for a maximum of 2 credits applicable toward graduation.(1 lect.)
