Sedimentary Geology involves the study of physical, chemical, and biologic processes that result in the formation, transportation and deposition of soils, sediments, fossils, and sedimentary rocks. These materials accumulate in a range of terrestrial, marginal-marine and marine depositional environments that experience processes often characteristic and unique to those environments. This course will engage students in an exploration of various earth materials, sedimentary structures, and fossils, and the chemical, physical, and biologic processes that impact their formation. Students will also explore how soils, sediments, fossils, and sedimentary rocks record spatial and temporal changes in plate tectonics, earth system processes, and environments. Course will focus on how geoscientists reconstruct ancient environments using earth materials and how they generate scientific models to help test short-term and long-term changes in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere through time. Course includes lectures, local and regional field trips that may occur on the weekend, and laboratory assignments designed to provide students with hands-on, field experience.

Deals with relationships between man and the geological habitat. Concerned with problems people have in using the earth and the reaction of the earth to that use in both a rural and urban setting. Stress placed on developing problem-solving skills in collecting, recording, and interpreting data through field investigations and simulation techniques. This class is available for graduate credit.

This field-intensive course examines the biological, chemical, physical, geological, and ecological ocean processes applied to coastal environments. Emphasis is placed on describing and documenting coastal environments, their biotas, environmental tolerances and ranges, and environmental management issues of the coastal zone. Topics include water quality analysis, barrier island geology and ecology, estuarine pollution, beach defense and biological implications in areas of coastal upwelling and coastal fronts. Specific cases in coastal pollution, human impacts on coastal landforms, shoreline erosion, wetland loss, sea-level fluctuations, nutrients in estuaries, and climate change are examined from coastal environments around the United States. Course includes lecture, field trips, and laboratory exercises designed to provide students with hands-on experience using field and laboratory equipment to solve real-world problems in diverse coastal settings. The course is field-based and taught out of the Marine Science Consortium, Wallops Island, Virginia.
