-
3.00 Credits
Geology of planets and moons in our solar system. Focuses on the compositions and geologic processes that operate today and/or have operated in the past. Prerequisite: Any 100-level, 3 credit hour GLG course.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines solid earth physical principles including theory and application. Applications will focus on the nature of geologic hazards and the Earth's interior, which will then be related to overriding scientific theories like plate tectonics and the observations they are based on. Prerequisite: Any 100-level 3 credit hour GLG course, or GEO 121, or PHY 111, or PHY 171, or PHY 181.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the principles and methodologies of environmental science. Topics include contamination of earth systems and pollution mitigation; use, abuse, and conservation of natural resources; land use, conservation and preservation, planning and management and the value of biodiversity and wilderness. Emphasis is on the multidisciplinary nature of environmental problems and their solutions. Prerequisite/Corequisite: At least one course from each of the following three categories: 1) BOT/MBI/ ZOO 115 or BOT 191 or ZOO 113; 2) CHM 111 or CHM 142/145; and 3) GLG 111 or 121 or 141 or GEO 121. Cross-listed with BOT/CHM/GEO/MBI/ MTH/STA/ ZOO 275.
-
4.00 Credits
Description and evaluation of sedimentary processes, sedimentary environments of deposition and the rocks that form in these environments are integrated with field trips and laboratory analyses of rocks in hand sample and thin section. Stratigraphic principles, sequence stratigraphy, and basin analysis are linked to global climate change and tectonics throughout geologic time. Prerequisite: Any 100-level, 3 credit hour GLG course and GLG 115.L or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The interplay of geology, climatology, oceanography, and biology are examined in marine and terrestrial tropical ecosystems. Includes lectures, student-led discussions and a semester long research project. Exams are take-home and discussion based.
-
4.00 Credits
Origins and characteristics of primary and secondary structures of Earth's crust. Prerequisite: Any 100-level, 3 credit hour GLG course; GLG 301; MTH 151, 153, or 157. 3 Lec. 1 Lab. CAS-D/LAB.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the study of climate change as recorded in the geologic record. Discusses natural and anthropogenic causes for climate change. Prerequisite: GLG 111, 121, 141 or GEO 121.
-
4.00 Credits
Theoretical, quantitative, and petrographic investigation of igneous and metamorphic rock physical and chemical characteristics and formational processes. Prerequisite: Any 100-level, 3 credit hour GLG course and GLG 201. GLG 211 is recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
Examines physical factors controlling climate and climate changes throughout geologic time. Interactions of the oceans, atmosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere on our climate in addition to astronomic controls examined. Prerequisite: GLG 244 or permission of instructor. Cross-listed with WCP 401/501.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on mutual interactions between microbial and geological processes. Topics include: role of microorganisms on mineral weathering rates, microbial mediated ore deposit formation, microbe enhanced oil recovery, life in extreme environments, search for bio-signatures in geological records and meteorites and implications for life on Mars, microbial ecology in ocean floor hydrothermal vents. Prerequisite: Any 100-level, 3 credit hour GLG course; CHM 137 or 141, 144; or permission of instructor. Cross-listed with MBI.
