2.00 Credits
GEOL 2020 Introduction to Petrology (1L,2LB,2CR). Introduces the study of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks in hand specimens and thin sections. Covers textural and mineralogic classification of rocks and the tectonic environments in which they occur. Prerequisites: GEOL 1100 or instructor permission.
-
3.00 Credits
GEOL 2030 Introduction to Hydrology (2L,2LB,3CR) Introduction to Hydrology covers the physical and chemical properties of water on Earth, processes of flow at the surface and in the subsurface, as well as fresh water as a finite global resource. Prerequisites: GEOL 1100 recommended, or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
GEOL 2050 Principles of Paleontology (3L,3CR) [E] A systematic look at the evolution of life forms on Earth from the earliest traces of organic material in Archaen rocks billions of years ago to the great diversity of life we see today.
-
4.00 Credits
GEOL 2070 Oceanography (3L,2LB,4CR) Deals with the ocean as a major environment of the earth. Includes the physical make-up of the ocean and the ocean as a climate controller and a resource for humans. Future pollution factors will also be discussed.
-
4.00 Credits
GEOL 2080 General Field Geology (3L,2LB,4CR) [E] General Field Geology teaches students basic concepts of geology, field mapping, and sampling technique. Emphasizes recognition, recording, and interpretation of geologic and paleontologic features in the field. Prerequisite: GEOL 1100 and at least two other geology classes.
-
4.00 Credits
GEOL 2100 Stratigraphy and Sedimentation (3L,3LB,4CR) [E] A basic course in stratigraphy and sedimentation which stresses depositional, environmental, and age relationships of sedimentary rock. Prerequisite: GEOL 1100 or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
GEOL 2150 Geomorphology (3L,2LB,4CR) [E] Geomorphology is the study of the forces and processes that shape Earth's surface, and the examination and classification of the resulting landforms. This course covers the basic concepts and terminology of fluvial (stream), glacial, arid (desert), coastal, groundwater, and mass wasting (landslide) environments. Through the use of maps, aerial and satellite imagery, and field and laboratory work, students gain understanding of the complex interaction between the deep earth, the surface environment, and the external forces of weather, climate, and incoming solar energy.
-
3.00 Credits
GEOL 2320 Petroleum Geology (3L,3CR) The origin and properties of petroleum reservoirs with methods of exploring for structural and stratigraphic traps by subsurface and surface geologic techniques. Mode of petroleum genesis, preferential, habitat and migration, and accumulation will be discussed in depth. Prerequisite: GEOL 1100 or EXTR 1500, or permission of the instructor.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
GEOL 2465 Research Problems in Geology (1-3CR) (Max. 3) A comprehensive research study in geology is required, the topic must be selected in consultation with the instructor. Upon completing the project, the student will present a written and an oral report to the instructor.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
GEOL 2490 Topics: (Subtitle) (1-4CR) Offered in answer to specific need or public interest.
