4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GLY 171: Prerequisite or corequisite: CHM 101. Introduction to the formation, structure and natural occurrence of minerals. Principles of chemical bonding, crystal chemistry, mineral genesis and crystallography. Study of the geologically important rock-forming mineral associations. Introduction to optical properties of minerals, the use of the petrographic microscope. Computer applications in geology. Required field trip(s). Three lecture and three laboratory hours each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: GLY 101 or GLY 120 (EVS 120) and GLYL 120 (EVSL 120) or GGY 130; and MAT 111. Field intensive introduction to data collection methods and analytic procedures associated with monitoring, assessment and management of environmental problems. Required field trips. Two lecture and three laboratory hours each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GGY 130 or 101 or GLY 120 (EVS 120). Covers the three main components of terrestrial hydrology: (1) atmospheric water, precipitation, and surface-atmosphere interactions; (2) groundwater, infiltration, substance flow, and aquifers; and (3) surface water, watersheds, rivers and floods. Lectures and exercises focus on collecting and interpreting hydrological data to address environmental issues.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: any 100-level geology course or permission of instructor. General summary of North Carolina geology including mineral and rock resources. Geology of selected state parks. Three hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GLY 101 or 120 or 150. Examination of the variability of coastal landforms, the varied processes that shapes them, and problems brought about by natural and anthropogenic changes along the coast. Focus on barrier island and spit formation; study of beaches, cliffs/platforms, dunes, estuaries and marshes; effects of tectonics, ice, and rivers on beaches and coastal morphology.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Study of selected topics in geology that are not considered in detail in regular course offerings. Taught on demand. More than one topic may be taken for credit (maximum six hours).
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GLY 201. Survey of the major igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock groups. Emphasis is on classification, textural features, mode of occurrence, environments of origin and economic importance. Laboratory stresses rock identification and typical rock associations. Required field trips. Three lecture and three laboratory hours each week.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GLY 201. Theories of genesis of the major igneous and metamorphic rocks in the light of chemistry, mineralogy, structure and texture, field associations, and experimental data. Relationship between igneous and metamorphic processes and crust-mantle tectonic activity. Required field trips. Three lecture and three laboratory hours each week.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GLY 201; Prerequisite or corequisite: GLY 200. Introduction to the observation, description, and interpretation of sediments and sedimentary rocks. Emphasis on physical processes controlling sedimentation and diagenesis. Three lecture and three laboratory hours each week.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: GGY 130 or GLY 101 or GLY 120 (EVS 120) and GLYL 120 (EVSL 120). A systematic treatment of the surface processes that shape fluvial, glacial, aeolian, and coastal landforms. Themes include process mechanics, description and classification of landforms, and evolution of landform systems. Students work individually or in small groups to analyze geomorphological data in field and laboratory settings. Three lecture and two laboratory hours each week.
