3.00 Credits
Exploration of the diverse processes that continually shape our physical environment. Develops an understanding of earth materials, how the earth works, the causes of natural disasters, and the overriding importance of geologic time. Includes minerals, rocks, volcanoes, radioactive dating, earthquakes, plate tectonics, rivers and floods, ground water resources, and glaciers. For a more comprehensive understanding of the subject, concurrent registration in GEOL 121 is strongly recommended. Credits: 3
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory experience with individual exploration of topics and subjects best presented in a hands-on environment. Prerequisites & Notes CRQ: GEOL 120. Credits: 1
-
1.00 Credits
Crosslisted as BIOS 201X, CHEM 201X, and PHYS 201X. Introduction to the role of the professional science teacher. Includes philosophical trends in teaching (and how they affect the science teacher), major factors affecting how science is taught, and an introduction to science content/ teaching standards. Prerequisites & Notes CRQ: ILAS 201. Credits: 1
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the evolution of terrestrial planets with regard to geological, biological, and solar system processes which lead to changes in planetary surfaces and atmospheres. Comparisons between the geological histories and climates of Earth, Mars, and Venus. Emphasis on anthropomorphic effects which may lead to future changes in the earth's atmosphere and climate. Credits: 3
-
1.00 Credits
Crosslisted as BIOS 301X, CHEM 301X, and PHYS 301X. Seminar on the role of a science teacher in an interdisciplinary and/or integrated science class and how a science curriculum is designed based on state and national standards. Focus on skills all science teachers must possess regardless of specific discipline including knowing how to apply the following topics in ways appropriate to the age and development of the students in a classroom: safety procedures, classroom management, designing and conducting demonstrations, experiments, performance assessments, differentiated curriculum, and uses of technology. Prerequisites & Notes CRQ: GEOL 483 and ILAS 301. Credits: 1
-
3.00 Credits
Examination of the geologic record to learn how to reconstruct past environments, study environmental change, and discover the major events in the history of life on earth. Survey of the evolutionary development of modern life, the generation of the earth's current surface, and the development of modern earth environments. Lectures, laboratory, and two one-day field trips. Not available for credit for majors. Except with departmental approval students may not receive credit from both GEOL 320 and GEOL 322. Prerequisites & Notes PRQ: A 100-level or higher natural science course. Credits: 4
-
3.00 Credits
Designed for Geology and Environmental Geosciences majors and minors. Methods and techniques for analysis of geological deposits, and records of geohistory of biological communities and environments on the Earth's surface. Discussion and application of new and classical tools in reconstruction of past environments and geography and fossil evidence of biotic evolution and analysis of fossil communities over time. Lectures, laboratory, and a field trip. Except with departmental approval, students may not receive credit from both GEOL 320 and GEOL 322. Prerequisites & Notes PRQ: GEOL 120 and GEOL 121, or consent of department. Credits: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the solid earth, particularly its chemistry, mineralogy, and lithologic heterogeneity. Includes the basics of mineralogy, optical mineralogy, and petrology. Lectures, laboratories centered around the use of the petrographic microscope, and a three- or four-day field trip. Prerequisites & Notes PRQ: GEOL 120 and GEOL 121, or consent of the department. Credits: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Chemical, physical, and biological interactions among earth's atmosphere/hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere. Origin and evolution of the atmosphere and oceans; biogeochemical cycles of carbon, oxygen, sulfur, and nutrients; humans as geologic and geochemical agents. Cycles put in the context of the global environmental system and examined in time using specific examples from the geologic record. Laboratory analysis of environmental data drawn from geochemistry, geology, and contemporary sources such as earth observing satellites. Prerequisites & Notes PRQ: GEOL 322, CHEM 210, and CHEM 212. Credits: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Integrative study of how dynamic tectonic processes create and shape the internal structure and surface of the Earth. Movement of tectonic plates and how interactions along plate boundaries create faults, folds, and fractures. Earth's gravity and magnetic fields, the mechanics of rock deformation and how remote sensing techniques are used to explore the Earth's internal structure. Real-world data to introduce laboratory techniques for describing and interpreting geologic structures.Prerequisites & Notes PRQ: GEOL 322 and GEOL 325. Credits: 4
