4.00 Credits
(105) Both semesters. Four credits. Three class periods and one three-hour laboratory period. Not open to students enrolled in or having passed GEOL 1051 or SCI 1051. History of planet Earth, emphasizing how rock, air, water, and life interact at different scales to produce the earth's crust, landforms, life systems, natural resources, catastrophes, and climatic regimes. Provides a scientific context for human-induced global change. Includes laboratory component (see GEOL 1052). CA 3-LAB.
-
3.00 Credits
(103) Both semesters. Three credits. Three class periods. Not open to students enrolled in or having passed GEOL 1050 or SCI 1051. Students who complete both GEOL 1051 and 1052 may request GEOL 1051 be converted from a CA 3 Non-laboratory to a CA 3 Laboratory course.

1.00 Credits
(107) Both semesters. One credit. Not open to stu- dents enrolled in or having passed GEOL 1050. Students who complete both GEOL 1051 and 1052 may request GEOL 1051 be converted from a CA 3 Non-laboratory to a CA 3 Laboratory course. Laboratory complement to GEOL 1051. Provides an opportunity to work with specimens (minerals, fossils, rocks), terrain images, maps, physical models, and simulation experiments. Includes two local field trips.
-
1.00 Credits
(109) Both semesters. One credit. Corequisite: GEOL 1050, 1051, 1052 or instructor consent. May be repeated for credit with instructor consent. Faculty-taught, weekly discussions to enhance GEOL 1050 and 1051. Emphasis and approach will vary, but all sections will track the lecture syllabus.
-
1.00 Credits
(113) Both semesters. One credit. Corequisite: GEOL 1050, 1051, 1052 or instructor consent. May be repeated for credit with instructor consent. Two or more faculty-led weekend field trips to nearby sites of interest, designed to enhance GEOL 1050 and 1051.
-

Principles of symmetry and crystal chemistry and the identification of minerals by hand sample, petrographic and x-ray methods. Description of the mineralogy and texture of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks and the application of contemporary petrogenetic models to the interpretation of the geologic environments they record. One or more weekend field trips may be required.
