-
1.00 Credits
To familiarize Ogden Research Scholars and other research oriented students with the fundamentals of choosing a research topic, performing a bibliographical search on a subject, classification of instruments, data taking, data reduction, professional ethics and other research oriented topics. The common points of research methodology in the different scientific areas will be accentuated. Examples will be drawn from the various disciplines. Use of computers will be emphasized. (Course does not count towards any major or minor.)
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: GEOL 111 and 113, and MATH 116 or higher. This course introduces the mechanics, characteristics, occurrences, and resultant structures associated with the major processes of deformation of the earth's crust. Major structural regions of North America are discussed. The laboratory emphasizes graphical and mathematical solutions of structural problems. Field trip required.
-
3.00 Credits
(Cross-listed with geography and engineering technology.) Emphasis is given to descriptive and quantitative hydrology. The hydrologic cycle, precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration will be covered under descriptive hydrology. Hydrographs, runoff relations, ground water, and storage routing will be covered under quantitative hydrology. Consideration is given to use and management of water as a resource.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOL 102 or GEOL 111 or permission of instructor A course in basic fundamentals pertaining to the geological, chemical, physical and biological aspects of the marine environment. Topics for discussion include the topography, structure and history of the ocean basins and their margins, ocean waters and oceanic circulation, tides and waves, marine geochemistry, ocean sediments and sedimentation, near-shore geologic processes and the ocean as a biogeochemical system. The resources of the ocean and the influence of man are also considered.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOL 102 or GEOL 111. The sight identification of minerals and rocks is stressed. The description, origin and classification, economic uses, and occurrences of the major mineral and rock groups are discussed. Appropriate rock and minerals specimens are examined in the laboratory.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: GEOL 111 and 113 and one semester of college chemistry or permission of the instructor. The systematic study of minerals. Includes crystallography, crystal chemistry, mineral stability, the classification of minerals, and the origin, characteristics ad occurrences of the major mineral groups. Laboratory work includes crystal symmetry, mineral identification, and an introduction to the optical microscope. A field trip may be required.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: GEOL 330. The study of the origin, characteristics, occurrence, and classification of igneous and metamorphic rocks, and of the processes that lead to their formation. Their occurrence in relation to plate tectonics is stressed. Laboratory work includes petrographic study of igneous and metamorphic rocks in hand specimen and in thin section. A field trip is required.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: GEOL 111, 112, 113 and 114. Description, classification, and correlation of sedimentary rocks. Topics include hand-sample petrography, surface and subsurface analysis techniques, spatial and temporal relations of rock units, biostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, and cycles and sequences in the stratigraphic record. Associated laboratory work includes field trips.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: GEOL 111 and GEOL 113 Prerequisites or Corequisites: GEOL 112 and GEOL 114 Techniques of geological field work. Topics include sampling, rock identification and description, field notes, and the transition from field to laboratory analysis. Field work is required. (Course Fee)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: GEOL 370 and permission of research project director. Individual research projects are conducted under faculty supervision. May be repeated with a change of content, but only 3 hours will be counted toward the major. A written report is required.
