The course entails student attendance to the Earth Talks Speaking Series hosted each semester by the Geoscience Department. The series serves as a forum through which experts from academia, government, and the private sector, as well as WSU students and faculty, share their experiences and research results with the WSU Geoscience community. The series also provides a venue for discussions of professional, educational, and employment issues related to Geology, Natural Resources, Earth Science teaching, and other related disciplines. Repeatable: Grade of "P" in six enrollments normally required of Geoscience and Earth Science (Teaching) majors; four enrollments normally required of Geoscience minors. Offered each semester.
-
3.00 Credits
An investigative exploration of significant geohazards impacting the earth with emphasis on volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides and other hill slope failures, hurricanes and tornadoes, pollution and floods. Geologic processes governing each type of disaster are explored. Prediction, impacts and mitigation potential for each hazard are examined. Lecture, no laboratory. Offered yearly.
-
3.00 Credits
Over 99% of the animal species that once inhabited the Earth are now extinct. Remarkably, most of these extinctions have been associated through time with significant geologic events that are considered by many to be catastrophic. In this course, students will explore the major extinctions that have taken place through geologic history. These include the extinction of numerous marine invertebrate species, the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, the extinction of large mammals during the last ice age, and many others. Lecture only. Prerequisites: None. Offered with sufficient demand.
-
4.00 Credits
History of astronomy. Study of the planets, their moons, comets, asteroids, meteors, and other planetary bodies. Origin of the universe, solar system, sun, and other stars. Lecture, laboratory, and observation required. Offered yearly, usually in the fall semester. Note: Students may enroll in either GEOS 105 or GEOS 106, but they cannot earn credit for both courses.
