-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An examination of the characteristics and origins of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, including the application of experimental and theoretical studies of rock genesis. Laboratory work emphasizes the systematic description, classification, and identification of rocks in hand specimen and thin section.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Survey of topics including mechanical principles, classification of structural features, and tectonics. Laboratory emphasizes analysis of both surface and subsurface features and field mapping by graphical and mathematical techniques.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Theoretical and descriptive invertebrate paleobiology. Topics covered include speciation, extinction, paleoecology, biostratigraphy, and systematics.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introduction to the principles and concepts of digital remote sensing, including an introduction to electromagnetic radiation, remote sensing instrumentation, sensor technology (multispectral, hyperspectral, radar, etc.), earth resource satellites, digital image interpretation and processing, and GIS integration. Course emphasis will include an analysis of remote sensing images (photographs, satellite imagery, radar imagery, etc.) and their interpretation and use for a variety of applications specific to geologic, biologic, and environmental assessment.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A systematic analysis of the morphology of the Earth's surface--both the continents and the sea floor-- and of the processes which shape that surface. Laboratory work emphasizes the use of paper and digital topographic maps and remotely sensed imagery for geomorphic and geologic interpretation.
-
0.00 - 6.00 Credits
Six weeks of geosciences field methods including measurement of sections and interpretation of stratigraphy, structure, depositional environments, and igneous and metamorphic rocks.
-
1.00 Credits
Oral and/or poster presentation of literature or research topics.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Teaches the fundamental skills routinely used by petroleum geologists, including basic well log analysis, log and geologic section correlation, cross section construction, and building of data contour and reservoir maps. Exposure to geophysical seismic data, rock sample evaluation, and well drilling operations. Focus on lab exercises as well as integration of computer applications.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
An introduction to subsurface groundwater movement and physical properties, emphasizing geological controls on groundwater flow, quantitative methods of the analysis of aquifer systems, regional hydrogeology, water quality, and pollution. Water resources are examined based on their occurrence, movement, and chemistry.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Lectures, discussion, reading, presentations, and/or laboratory work on advanced topics in geosciences or environmental science.
