-
3.00 Credits
Designed to prepare students for summer field camp. Basic techniques of geologic mapping in the field, data analysis and interpretation, and report writing.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Field seminar in geology is designed to prepare students for summer field camp. Students will learn the basic techniques of geologic mapping in the field. The mapping project is framed as a problem in applied geology and involves independent problem solving, data analysis and interpretation, and report writing. With several additional class meetings prior to and following the field exercise, the class ends with a formal oral presentation. Prerequisites: GEOL 4411 and GEOL 4421.
-
4.00 Credits
Composition and origin of sediments and sedimentary rocks. Description and classification of rocks in hand specimen. Principles of stratigraphy, including stratigraphic units and correlation. Facies models for major depositional systems. Field trips.
-

Composition and origin of sediments and sedimentary rocks. Description and classification of rocks in hand specimen. Principles of stratigraphy, including stratigraphic units and correlation. Facies models for major depositional systems. Field trips. Prerequisites: GEOL 1403, GEOL 1404, GEOL 3411 (may be taken concurrently) and GEOL 3442, or permission of instructor. (May be taken for graduate credit.)
-
4.00 Credits
Study of geologic and tectonic parameters of mineral and metals formation. Ore geology and geochemistry. Mining, processing, fabrication, and marketing of natural resources. Field trip to mining operations.
-
4.00 Credits
Geometric and quantitative description of deformation of the Earth’s crust, mechanics of brittle and crystal-plastic deformation processes of Earth materials, introduction to continuum mechanics of geologic systems, crustal deformation from micro-scale to global tectonics. Laboratory introduces principles of three-dimensional data representation and analysis, geologic map interpretation, cross-section techniques, and problems in stress and strain analysis.

-
1.00 Credits
One to four semester hours of credit may be earned by working in an internship position in industry, with local government, private firm, or independent geologist. Prerequisite: Senior geology majors only; requires approval of the geology faculty. May be repeated for credit, but only four semester hours will count towards degree.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
One to four semester hours of credit may be earned by working in a non-paying, internship position in industry, with local government, private firm, or independent geologist. Prerequisite: Senior geology majors only; requires approval of the geology faculty. May be repeated for credit, but only four semester hours will count towards degree.
-
4.00 Credits
Basic concepts of petroleum geology and techniques used in the exploration and production of hydrocarbon systems. Lectures and lab exercises will cover principles of stratigraphy, sedimentology, hydrocarbon generation, hydrocarbon-trapping mechanisms, reservoir characterization, seismic interpretation, well-log interpretation, and geologic risk analysis.
