-
5.00 Credits
Provides students with an introduction to the principles of geographic information systems, uses of the technology, and hands-on experience with ArcView software. Practical skills will be learned through tutorials and an independent project in which the student develops a GIS. The independent project will focus on gathering geographic data, assembling the GIS, performing analyses, and presenting the results. Prerequisite(s): Familiarity with Windows software and permission of instrucor.
-
5.00 Credits
Study of the formation and evolution of the physical features of the earth, including the atmosphere, climate, and weather; rocks, minerals, vegetation, and soils; erosion and modification of the earth's surfaces; and human impact and modification. Laboratory included. Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENGL-095 and READ-095 with a grade of "C" or higher; completion of MATH-090 with a "C-" or higher; or equivalent assessment in these areas.
-
5.00 Credits
Introduces students to the elements of geographic information systems (GIS) including cartography, data structure, map overlays, and spatial analysis. Applications of GIS to environmental issues relating to hydrology and watershed management, soil science, land-use planning, and conservation are explored in a hands-on style, incorporating both field activities and GIS software. This course is the same course as ENVSC 210. Students may receive credit for either GEOG 210 or ENVSC 210 but not both. Laboratories and field trips included. Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENGL-095 and READ-095 with a grade of "C" or higher; completion of MATH-090 with a "C-" or higher; or equivalent assessment in these areas.
-
5.00 Credits
(Formerly GEOL-101) Introduce students to the materials and landscapes of the earth and the diverse geological processes that produce and change them. Subjects such as volcanoes, glaciers, rivers, and earthquakes will be studied. The laboratory consists of various activities, including examination of rocks and minerals. Includes local field trips. Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENGL-095 and READ-095 with a grade of "C" or higher; completion of MATH-090 with a "C-" or higher; or equivalent assessment in these areas.
-
5.00 Credits
Provides an introduction to earth systems by studying the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, and how these realms interact to produce the dynamic earth that we inhabit. Hands-on exercises will involve work with rock samples, weather gauges, and maps and diagrams. This course is taught online.
-
5.00 Credits
Introduction to the geological and biological processes and events that generated the amazing record of life on earth. Topics include plate tectonics, rocks, fossilization processes, principles of evolution, and a survey of the history of life. Includes lab, which focuses on studying rock and fossil specimens and involves field trips. This course is the same as BIOL-105. Students may receive credit for either GEOL-108 or PHIL-105 but not both. Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENGL-095 and READ-095 with a grade of "C" or higher; completion of MATH-090 with a "C-" or higher; or equivalent assessment in these areas.
-
5.00 - 12.00 Credits
An intensive course in introductory geology, covering the fundamental principles of physical geology and an introduction to field methods. Extended field trip required. Exact itinerary varies quarterly. Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENGL-095 and READ-095 with a grade of "C" or higher; completion of MATH-090 with a "C-" or higher; or equivalent assessment in these areas.
-
2.00 Credits
These are seminars designed to provide geology students with the opportunity to study selected geologic topics and techniques. Topics and/or techniques covered will generally be determined by the instructor but may also reflect the expressed need or interest of students in the earth science program. The seminars will be comprised of lecture, laboratory and fieldtrip activities in varying proportions depending on the specific topic and needs of participating students.
-
5.00 Credits
(Formerly GEOL-208) Study of the geologic history of the Pacific Northwest. Emphasis on both the role of plate tectonics in assembling the region as well as how surface processes such as rivers and volcanism have shaped the landscapes of the area. Fieldtrips required. Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENGL-095 and READ-095 with a grade of "C" or higher; completion of MATH-090 with a "C-" or higher; or equivalent assessment in these areas.
-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
Study of selected geologic topics on an individual basis. Prerequisite(s): Instructor Permission
