    Students will each conduct research on a portion of the seafloor, using archived acoustic data and state-of-the-art software. They will address scientific questions related to seabed/substrate characteristics such as geomorphology, benthic habitat potential, and geologic origin. Students will prepare their research results for presentation as if they were to attend a national conference.

    This course engages students in actual multidisciplinary research, focused on the southeast continental shelf. Students participate in a 5-day research cruise, then conduct independent and collaborative research in the laboratory. Students present their research results in poster and oral form, and prepare a manuscript for publication in an online journal. NOTE: Please refer to the appropriate academic catalog for additional course information concerning prerequisites, co-requisites and course restrictions..

    Three-week intensive field experience in geologic mapping and interpretation taught in the western United States using topographic base maps, aerial photography and satellite imagery. Mapping exercises emphasize the description of stratigraphic sections and geologic structures, and an interpretation of geologic history.

    This summer field course will enable students to discover the interconnection between human activities and their impacts on the Earth's systems. The student will typically travel to Colorado to examine changes to the Colorado River as the river flows 1000 miles from its headwaters to the Hoover Dam. The drainage basins of the Green and San Juan Rivers will also be studied. The focus of the students' work will be to assess the sustainable management of geological and environmental resources along the rivers and how shifting climate and increased population has and will impact humans that depend on this aquatic resource. NOTE: Please refer to the appropriate academic catalog for additional course information concerning prerequisites, co-requisites and course restrictions.

    Global water resources are stressed, and many developing nations have urgent challenges facing them for the foreseeable future. India is one such country struggling with water management (too little supply during most part of the year or too much during the monsoon season). In this course, we will travel to locations in the Ganges River (also known as Ganga River) basin to learn how India is managing water resources and planning for a future that may bring more extreme shifts in drought and flood cycles, affecting the nexus of people and the environment.

    This is a three - week field based course to study geology, earth history and current environmental impacts in South Africa. Various geologic environments, stratigraphy and discussing the geological timescale, plate tectonics, and evolutionary theory. We will investigate environmental issues on water scarcity and quality, including access to potable water in rural communities and human health impacts related to access to clean water. Students will also make observations that provide clues regarding stresses on the environment.
