-
3.00 Credits
Analysis of the dynamic interaction of geologic processes and human activities. Catastrophic geologic processes (earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides), pollution of geologic systems, and engineering case studies. Evenson (NS)
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to process geomorphology and sedimentology that emphasizes the dynamic interactions of climate, tectonics, and watershed hydrology on the erosional, transportational, depositional, and biological processes that shape landscapes. Includes a field and computer-intensive lab. Prerequisites: EES 22. Pazzaglia. (NS)
-
4.00 Credits
Hand-specimen identification of the major mineral groups and rock types. Atomic structure of minerals; relationship of mineral structure to chemical and physical properties. Placement of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks into a plate tectonics context. Introduction to optical mineralogy and x-ray diffraction techniques. Lectures, laboratories, field trips. Prerequisite: EES 22. Bebout (NS)
-
4.00 Credits
Basic principles and applications of ecological interrelationships. Examination of ecological phenomena at the individual, population, community, and ecosystem levels. Impact of human activities on global ecosystems. Prerequisite: EES 22. Booth (NS)
-
4.00 Credits
Review of the co-evolution of Earth, life, climate, and the environment, and introduction to the records used to constrain this history. The course addresses environmental changes at both geologic and human time spans. Includes laboratory exercises and field trips. Prerequisite: EES 100. Zeitler. (NS)
-
4.00 Credits
Material behavior of rocks and the architecture of the Earth's crust. Plate tectonic processes and plate margin deformation. Introduction to geologic maps and field techniques. Lectures, laboratories, and one or two weekend fieldtrips. Prerequisite: EES 115 or EES 131. Anastasio. (NS)
-
4.00 Credits
Ecosystem ecology in the context of the Earth system; discussion of mechanisms by which terrestrial ecosystems function, including the flow of water and energy and the cycling of carbon and nutrients; characterization of temporal and spatial patterns in ecosystem processes and their sensitivity to environmental and biotic changes; integration of global scale effects of these processes. Includes lectures, field trips and laboratories. Prerequisite: EES 115 or EES 152. Yu. (NS)
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Experiential learning opportunities supervised by EES faculty, including data collection or analysis, literature review, and information management most likely as part of a long-term, continued project. The student should submit a work plan that describes activities involved and credits requested. A maximum of four credits of EES 293 and no more than eight credits combined from EES 93, EES 293 and 393 may be applied to EES B.A. and B.S. degrees (additional credits apply to free electives). Prerequisite: consent of supervising faculty.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of how earthquakes and active source seismology are used to image subsurface structure and stratigraphy and to understand tectonic processes. Fundamentals of seismic wave propagation in the Earth. Study of earthquakes, reflection, and refraction techniques at crustal, lithospheric, and whole Earth scales. Practical applications, experiment design, data collection, processing, analysis, and interpretation. Field and laboratory projects. Prerequisites: EES 100, or consent of the instructor. Meltzer (NS)
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of high-resolution geologic records of environmental and global change, how they are analyzed, and how they can be used in a variety of disciplines. Time series analysis, age control, completeness of sequences, and correlation of records will be covered. A class project will use acquisition and analysis of environmental magnetic data to demonstrate how records of global and environmental change are constructed. Prerequisite: EES 100. Kodama. (NS)
