-
1.00 - 9.00 Credits
Active participation in research, under the supervision of a faculty adviser, leading to a master's thesis. Grades of IP are assigned until the thesis has been approved by the faculty adviser and accepted by the Office of Graduate Education to be archived in a standard format in the library. Grades will then be listed as S. Credit Hours: 1 to 9
-
3.00 Credits
Active participation in research, under the supervision of a faculty adviser, leading to a doctoral dissertation. Grades of IP are assigned until the dissertation has been publicly defended, approved by the doctoral committee, and accepted by the Office of Graduate Education to be archived in a standard format in the library. Grades will then be listed as S.
-
4.00 Credits
Age and origin of the Earth, internal constituents, and energy sources; how plates move, oceans develop, resources accumulate, and mountains rise. Gives nonspecialists a picture of the Earth's major processes and the ways in which they interact to provide the world's citizens with adequate material resources. Lectures and recitation. (Students cannot obtain credit for both ERTH 1010 and ERTH 1100.)When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
An overview of the Earth's surface processes and environment. Nature and interactions between the major oceanic, atmospheric, and terrestrial systems. Interrelations between geology, the environment, and human activities. Geologic and environmental implications, constraints, and opportunities for past, present, and future human populations and cultures. Short-and long-term benefits and consequences of actions or inaction. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
The sciences of the natural world, focusing primarily upon physics and chemistry but including some discussion of relevant topics in astronomy and planetary science. Both classical and modern concepts are treated, at scales ranging from the atom to the universe, and an effort is made to instill an appreciation for the nature of science and the scientific method. Examples are used as appropriate to illustrate the value of science in our everyday lives. The course is designed for nonscience majors and cannot be used by science majors to fulfill a distribution requirement. (Note: Natural Sciences II does qualify as a science distribution requirement for some science majors.) When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
The sciences of the natural world, focusing primarily on the earth and life sciences. The course addresses the origin, evolution, and current state of our planet, and examines the earth as a life-supporting system. Specific examples of developments in scientific thinking are used to illustrate connections among the various disciplines comprising the natural sciences. The course is designed for nonscience majors, and cannot be used by students majoring in one of the bio-or geosciences to fulfill a distribution requirement. This restriction does not apply to students majoring in computer science, mathematics, chemistry, or physics. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: ERTH 1030 or recent course work in basic physics and chemistry. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Age and origin of the Earth, internal constituents and energy sources; how plates move, oceans develop, and mountains rise. The course aims to give a quantitative picture of the Earth's major processes and the ways in which they interact. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
The geological environment of humankind: the atmosphere, oceans, groundwater, rivers, glaciers, deserts, and coasts. The course explores the processes by which these and other features develop and change, the opportunities or hazards they present, and the ways in which humans can modify their development. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to various aspects of the study of the physics of the Earth. Stress and strain, deformation, isostasy, seismic waves, earthquakes, Earth structure, resource exploration, Earth dynamics, plate tectonics, mountain building, gravity and geodesy, magnetic field, and heat flow. Included are weekly labs and occasional field exercises. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ERTH 1100. When Offered: Spring term, odd numbered years. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to stress and strain; observation, measurement, recording, and interpretation of rock structures including joints, faults, folds, and fabrics. Interpretation of structures from geologic maps. Structures and regional tectonics. Laboratory and field trips required. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ERTH 2210 or permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
