The textbook information will be supplemented with satellite images and visual materials to enhance the learning experience of the student. Weekly lecture and laboratory hours associated with each course are designated by (lecture:lab) following the semester hours. The indicated laboratory hours are laboratory instructional time. In most cases aditional laboratory time will be required to complete assigned work. All courses involving labs and field trips will require appropriate fees. Prerequisites for geology courses may be waived only by permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
One-semester introductory earth science course for students majoring in a non-science subject area. Basic geologic material and concepts, such as minerals, rocks, the rock cycle, and plate tectonics theory. Origin, composition, and evolution of our planet, as well as geologic phenomena that affect everyday life, including global change, earthquakes, volcanism, groundwater and mineral resources. May not be counted toward a degree in Geology or Environmental Sciences. Will not substitute for GEOL 1403. This course counts toward the natural science component of the University Core Curriculum Programs .
-
4.00 Credits
The origin, classification, and composition of Earth materials. Internal and surface processes that modify Earth and other planets. Laboratory studies of minerals, rocks, and topographic, physiographic, and geologic maps. This course counts toward the natural science component of the University Core Curriculum.
-
4.00 Credits
Origin and evolution of Earth and other planets. Changes in the form and distribution of Earth's continents and oceans, and succession of plants and animals through geologic time. Laboratory studies of fossils, planetary, geological maps, and the interpretation of ancient environments of rock formation. This course counts toward the natural science component of the University Core Curriculum.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to basic field skills in geology and other field-based sciences. Basic techniques in safe field practices, collection of field observations, note taking, and scientific reasoning. Two- to four-day field excursion to areas that display a variety of geologic phenomena within Texas. Field trip destinations may vary from year to year.

Introduction to basic field skills in geology and other field-based sciences. Basic techniques in safe field practices, collection of field observations, note taking, and scientific reasoning. Three- to four-day field excursion to areas that display a variety of geologic phenomena within Texas and adjacent states. Field trip destinations may vary from year to year.
-
3.00 Credits
Chemical processes responsible for the distribution of elements in the solid Earth, its oceans, and the atmosphere and changes as a function of time. Review of mathematical and chemical foundations, basic thermodynamic principles, and phase relationships. Discussion of the inorganic, organic, and isotope geochemistry of the Earth’s major systems (lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere).
