3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the geological processes that form, shape and modify the world's ocean basins and the sediments contained within. Coastal and deep marine depositional environments will be examined from both a modern and ancient perspective. NOTE: Please refer to the appropriate academic catalog for additional course information concerning prerequisites, co-requisites and course restrictions..

3.00 Credits
This course covers the basics of dinosaur taxonomy, biogeography, and evolution, along with the phenomenon of mass extinctions. The Age of Dinosaurs spanned over 160 million years. In that time, dinosaurs evolved to fill many ecological niches and thrived across every continent. The evolutionary story of dinosaurs is tightly intertwined with that of our own ancient ancestors. In this class, we'll explore how the Age of Dinosaurs began with, endured, and was ended by global cataclysms. We will also consider the latest developments in the study of dinosaurs and the many ways that past extinction events shape our modern world. NOTE: Please refer to the appropriate academic catalog for additional course information concerning prerequisites, co-requisites and course restrictions.

3.00 Credits
This course is designed to explore surface landscapes of planets and moons within our solar system. Topics for discussion will include the general physiography of the planetary bodies and the processes that modify their surface morphologies (e.g., tectonism, volcanism, impact cratering, eolian, hydrologic, glacial and other resurfacing processes). Lectures three hours per week. NOTE: Please refer to the appropriate academic catalog for additional course information concerning prerequisites, co-requisites and course restrictions..
Prerequisite:
( GEOL 101 AND GEOL 101L ) OR ( HONS 155 AND HONS 155L ) OR ( GEOL 103 AND GEOL 103L )
-
3.00 Credits
This course investigates the scientific aspects of several types of natural hazards (earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, etc.) using in-depth case studies of recent and historical hazardous events. The course will emphasize both hazardous impacts and means of mitigating risks. Case studies of specific events will be used to highlight the social, economic, environmental and human impacts. NOTE: Please refer to the appropriate academic catalog for additional course information concerning prerequisites, co-requisites and course restrictions..
Prerequisite:
( GEOL 101 AND GEOL 101L ) OR ( GEOL 103 AND GEOL 103L ) OR ( HONS 155 AND HONS 155L )
-
3.00 Credits
In this course students will examine the affects geologic phenomena have had on the development of some classical societies. We will delve into the geology behind these phenomena, learn how to identify geological events in the soil/rock record, and then critically examine how these phenomena may have affected trade, agriculture, power, resources and more. NOTE: Please refer to the appropriate academic catalog for additional course information concerning prerequisites, co-requisites and course restrictions.
Prerequisite:
( GEOL 101 AND GEOL 101L ) OR ( GEOL 103 AND GEOL 103L ) OR ( HONS 155 AND HONS 155L )
-
3.00 Credits

Hydrology fundamentals covered in the first half, and the second half will address resource assessment, human impacts, and legal and political conflicts involving water resources. Topics are presented in a case-study format, with substantial classroom discussion. NOTE: Please refer to the appropriate academic catalog for additional course information concerning prerequisites, co-requisites and course restrictions..
Prerequisite:
( GEOL 101 AND GEOL 101L ) OR ( GEOL 103 AND GEOL 103L ) OR ( HONS 155 AND HONS 155L ) AND ( GEOL 105 AND GEOL 105L ) OR ( HONS 156 AND HONS 156L )
-
