-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A one-semester survey course of the physical sciences. Topics are selected from astronomy, meteorology, chemistry, geology and physics to illustrate the philosophic methods of science. This course does not count toward the university lab science requirement. Lab fee $5.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introduction to the physical processes that operate in and on the planet Earth. Topics of discussion include: the Earth's structure, rocks and minerals, volcanoes, earthquakes, groundwater, rivers, glaciers, and deserts. Core lab science credit will not be awarded for both GEOL 1403 and GEOL 1308. Lab fee $10.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
History of the Earth from the formation of the solar system to the present. Topics include the Earth's development, evolution of life on Earth, changes in the Earth's geography throughout its history, and the tools geologists use to investigate these topics. Prerequisite: GEOL 1403 or GEOL 1308. Lab fee $10.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to the study of the environment. The course will examine air, water, and soil pollution, and pollution remediation. Energy, mineral resources, and land use will be studied. The course will also emphasize a study of the water supply, water use, and water management. Much of the laboratory will focus on land use planning and environmental pollution remediation. Lab fee $15.

-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Course focuses on the causes, effects, and mitigation of natural disasters around the world. Topics covered will include: plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunami, landslides, meteor impacts, climate change, and major weather events such as tornadoes, floods, and hurricanes. Emphasis will be on methods used by scientists to monitor and study these natural phenomena, as well as the economic and societal impact of and response to the events. Core lab science credit will not be awarded for both GEOL 1403 and GEOL 1308. Lab fee $10.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of fossils. A survey of the systematics, evolution and paleoecology of microfossils, plants, invertebrate and vertebrate fossils. Prerequisites: GEOL 1403, 1404 and BIOL 2401, 2402 or approval of department head. Lab fee $10.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Study of surface processes in geological environments with emphasis on environmental and engineering applications. Topics include weathering, soil formation and erosion, landslides, and landforms associated with rivers, groundwater, coasts, arid and semi-arid climates. Laboratory emphasizes aerial photo and topographic map interpretation. Prerequisites: GEOL 1403. Lab fee $10.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
A study of the forces and processes resulting in the deformation of and structural features of units in the Earth's crust. Lab work includes solution of problems by descriptive geometry, geologic and topographic maps and cross-sections. Prerequisites: GEOL 1403, 1404; MATH 109 or approval of department head. Lab fee $10.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
A survey of the application of chemical principles to problems of geology. Topics include the origin and distribution of the elements and exploration of the behavior and distribution of various elements in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Basic concepts of thermodynamics, solution chemistry, and isotope geochemistry will be discussed. Credit for both GEOL 314 and CHEM 314 will not be awarded. Prerequisite: CHEM 1412. Lab fee $10.
