3.00 Credits
Lectures and field excursions emphasizing the interactions of geology and culture in Tennessee. Geologic topics include: physiographic regions and geologic history, landforms, structural and tectonic history, natural and economic resources and environmental issues across the state. Cultural topics include: settlement history, economic development, political patterns and distribution of populations. Attention is given to current state issues. Prereq: GEOL 110-120 or GEOG 201-202. ( Same as GEOG 365/565)
-
2.00 Credits
Methods of correlating rock strata according to North American Stratigraphic Code including lithostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy and biostratigraphy. Two hours lecture per week. Prereq: GEOL 360. 364
-
3.00 Credits
Investigations in Earth Systems Science using inquiry-based exploration of Earth's processes and environments including the lithosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and astrosphere. The course will focus on problem-based and student-centered learning techniques, so it will be especially applicable to anyone intending to or currently engaged in teaching science courses. The course is taught completely online, with the participant doing a combination of individual and group coursework via an asynchronous discussion board. An optional field trip for hands-on learning will be made available. Prerequisites for graduate credit: Bachelor's degree or Senior standing and permission of the instructor. Prereq for undergraduate credit: Minimum of eight ( 8) hours of undergraduate lab-based science and permission of the instructor. ( Same as GEOG 375/575)
-
4.00 Credits
Description and interpretation of deformation processes and common geologic structures such as folds, faults, joints and cleavage. Lab topics include: map interpretation, depth and thickness problems, construction of structure sections, structure contour maps, stereonets. Three hours lecture and two hours lab. Prereq: GEOL 330, 370.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the water cycle, especially those parts dealing with streams, ground water and water quality. Two hours lecture and two hours lab. Prereq: MATH 140, GEOL 110, CHEM 121.
-
3.00 Credits
Students will participate in field projects during their senior year. Methods include measurement, description and interpretation of rock sections; use of instruments in the collection and the analysis of data; construction and interpretation of geologic maps and crosssections; writing technical reports and the delivery of oral reports. This course is designated as the Writing and Speaking Across the Curriculum course in geology. Prereq/Coreq: Senior standing and instructor's approval.
-
4.00 Credits
(1-4) Students study the geology and geologic history of a given locale through extended travel to the designated region of study. Travel sites vary each year and may be either domestic or foreign. Preand post-course meetings with lectures, discussion groups and independent topic research are used in conjunction with field study activities. Students are responsible for their own travel expenses, fees, personal health and life insurance and any other expenses when the semester topic requires it. This course may be repeated for credit with different topics. No more than four hours credit may be counted toward requirements for major or minor.
-
3.00 Credits
(1-4) Intensive lectures and/or lab work on special topics in geology. Topics include, but are not limited to: Geology of State and National Parks, Geophysics, Clastic Petrology, Carbonate Petrology, Geochemistry, Paleocology, Biostratigraphy and Paleobiogeography, Economic Geology, Geoscience Education, Comparative Planetology, History of Geology, Geoarchaeology. Prereq: Instructor's approval. This course may be repeated for credit with different topics. No more than four hours credit may be counted toward requirements for major or minor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Seniors, by invitation of the geology faculty, propose and pursue research under the supervision of a faculty member. Students will submit a paper for review by a faculty committee of two or more members of the geology faculty and perhaps faculty members from other disciplines involved in the research. Graded on a Pass/Fail basis.
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory course emphasizing listening, speaking, reading and writing. May be used to remove a language deficiency or for students with no prior experience in the language. Three one-hour lectures and two one-hour labs.
