1.00 Credits
GEOL 1040 Gemstones and Their Geologic Origins (1L, 1CR) This course is designed to acquaint the student with gemstone identification, faceting and the geology which produces these rare specimens.
-
1.00 Credits
GEOL 1045 Lapidary (2LB,1CR) ) This is a general interest science course teaching skill needed to cut and polish rocks and gemstones. Students will learn to use various machines to cut, grind, polish, drill, facet, and make thin sections for easier hand sample identification, creating thin sections for microscopes, and improving the aesthetic value of various Wyoming gemstones and rocks.Concurrently: GEOL 1046 Field Trips to collect Gemstones.
-
1.00 Credits
GEOL 1046 Field Trips to Collect Gemstones (2LB,1CR) This lab course consisting of 4 all-day field trips will complement GEOL 1040 (Gemstones) and GEOL 1045 (Lapidary) by letting the students collect their own samples of gemstones and various rocks throughout Wyoming. Jade, opals, sapphires, aquamarines, beryl, tourmaline, iolite, lepidolite, labradorite, and agates are some of the common samples to be collected. Concurrently: Best if taken concurrently with either GEOL1045 (Lapidary) or GEOL1040 (Gemstones of Wyoming)
-
4.00 Credits

GEOL 1200 Historical Geology (3L,2LB,4CR)[E] A lecture and laboratory survey of the physical and biological history of the earth as interpreted from the sequence of rocks and fossil remains. Field trips will be included in the spring semester. Prerequisite: GEOL 1100 recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
Water, Dirt, & Earth's Envirnment(3L, 3LB,4CR) Introductory environmental geology course focusing on water and soil both as hazards and as life-sustaining resources; exploring surface processes and climate change over geological and human timescales. Case studies illustrate the environmental tradeoffs of resource use. Cross listed with GEOL 1500.
-
4.00 Credits
GEOL 2000 Geochemical Cyles and the Earth System (3L,2LB,4CR) Geology applied to the complete Earth system including Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere and Biosphere, emphasizing rock associations and geochemical cycles on a global scale.Prerequisite: GEOL 1100.
-
4.00 Credits
GEOL 2005 Introduction to Geophysics (3L,2LB,4CR) Introduction to the processes and properties of the physical earth. Topics to be covered include: gravity and magnetics, heat flow, seismo-tectonics, earthquakes, global earth structure, electromagnetism, and seismology. Prerequisite: GEOL 1100 or GEOL/ENR 1500 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
GEOL 2010 Mineralogy(2L,3LB,3CR)[E] An in-depth introduction to the mineralogy of rock-forming minerals and minerals of economic interest. Lectures and labs will cover the chemical, physical and optical properties of minerals. The class will systematically cover minerals and mineral associations. Great emphasis will be placed on hand sample and microscopic identification of rock-forming minerals.Prerequisite: GEOL 1100 or permission of Instructor. Concurrent: GEOL 2020.
