3.00 Credits
Hours: 3 Course ID: 000878 A first course in the principles of physical geology, including study of minerals and rocks, volcanoes and earthquakes, plate tectonics, and the landforms of Earth's surface. Requires concurrent enrollment in GLY 111. Component: Lecture Attributes: Science
-
3.00 Credits
Hours: 3 Course ID: 000757 The history of Earth: its origin as part of the solar system, and the subsequent evolution of its atmosphere, continents, seas, and life as interpreted from the rock record. In addition to lecture illustrations, examples are presented by a three-hour field trip and several out-of-class exercises. Attention is given to the development of the basic principles used in this interpretation. Prerequisite: GLY 101 and GLY 111. Component: Lecture Attributes: Science
-
3.00 Credits
Hours: 3 Course ID: 002218 An introductory course that applies basic geological concepts to current environmental issues including the availability and use of water and soil resources, pollution causes, effects and solutions, and causes and prediction of environmental hazards including floods, landslides, subsidence, earthquakes and volcanoes. Component: Lecture Attributes: Science
-
1.00 Credits
Hours: 1 Course ID: 000544 Identification of minerals and rocks in land specimens, interpretation of landscape features as shown on topographic maps, and an introduction to geologic maps. Laboratory: 2 hours. Requires concurrent registration in GLY 101. Component: Laboratory Attributes: Science Laboratory
-
1.00 Credits
Hours: 1 Course ID: 000548 Interpretation of geologic maps and cross-sections, and elementary study of important invertebrate fossil groups. One 3-hour field trip required. Laboratory: 2 hours. Prerequisite or concurrent: GLY 102. Component: Laboratory Attributes: Science Laboratory
-
3.00 Credits
Hours: 3 Course ID: 003781 More than 65 million years ago, dinosaurs and their kin dominated the earth and relegated our mammalian ancestors to positions of unimportance for nearly 155 million years. This course traces the history of dinosaurs from early vertebrate ancestors to their final extinction and surveys the evolutionary paleogeographic, environmental, and possible extraterrestrial causes for the rise to dominance and sudden fall. Along the way and afterwards, dinosaur interactions with other organisms and the environment, as well as their indirect influence on mammals, particularly on the much later evolution of humankind, will be examined. Lecture: 3 hours. Component: Lecture Attributes: Science
-
4.00 Credits
Hours: 4 Course ID: 000847 How the Earth works: an integrated course in physical geology, covering the physical, chemical and biological processes that combine to produce geological processes. Attention is focused on plate tectonics, earth surface processes, and properties and formation of earth materials. Lab exercises emphasize identification and interpretation of geologic materials and maps. Lecture: 3 hours; Laboratory: 3 hours. Component: Laboratory, Lecture Attributes: Science, Science Laboratory
-
3.00 Credits
