  • EENV 103: Earth System History

    4.00 Credits
    Susquehanna University

    This course focuses on life from its origin on this planet to its present diversity of species. Students will learn about the fundamental physical and biological changes that have shaped and influenced the Earth system since its formation 4.8 billion years ago. Physical concepts that deal with geologic time and stratigraphic relationships, plate tectonics, and nutrient cycling will be addressed. The origin of life, evolutionary processes, the expansion of biodiversity, the radiation of organisms in the oceans, the conquest of land, mass extinctions, dinosaurs, and the rise of humans will be discussed. 4 SH. 3 lecture hours, 3 laboratory/field hours. Core: Perspectives on the World, Science and Technology.
