4.00 Credits
Soil science is the exploration of the organic and mineral material that forms thin layers where atmospheric, biological and geological interaction occur. Students will study the materials that make up soil, their relationship to each other, water and air interactions, and the biological, chemical and physical processes that are at work in soil. Prerequisite: EENV:113 or instructor's permission. 4 SH. 3 lecture hours. 3 laboratory/field hours.
-
4.00 Credits
A comprehensive study of groundwater and the technologies that locate, extract and protect this resource. Emphasizes practical knowledge, developing theoretical principles when applicable. Includes origin and movement of groundwater, exploration techniques, and groundwater computer modeling. Prerequisites: EENV:101, EENV:113, PHYS:101, MATH:111-112. 4 SH. 3 lecture hours. 3 laboratory/field hours.
-
4.00 Credits
Advanced analysis of groundwater pollution. Includes types, sources, chemical and physical behavior, and effects on humans. Examines chemical and physical properties that influence the transport, transformation and toxicity of pollutants. Also covers the principles and techniques of assessing, monitoring and remediating groundwater pollution. Prerequisites: CHEM:101-102 and EENV:220. 4 SH. 3 lecture hours. 3 laboratory/field hours.
-
4.00 Credits
The equations of motion governing the atmosphere are derived and applied to case studies of synoptic weather events. Topics include mid-latitude cyclones, fronts, vorticity, stability, thermal wind, jet streaks, quasi-geostrophic dynamics, and severe weather. Prerequisites: EENV:240, MATH:112, and PHYS:101 (can be taken concurrently). 4 SH. 3 lecture hours. 3 laboratory/field hours.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of structural geology and how to identify and interpret the evidence for deformation that occurs in rocks that are found in the earth's crust. Students will learn about ductile and brittle deformation, and they will be introduced to the forces that act upon rocks, especially those related to plate tectonic movements. Prerequisites: EENV:283, PHYS:101. 4 SH. 3 lecture hours, 3 laboratory/field hours.
-
4.00 Credits
Individual students select a contemporary environmental topic to investigate in depth and propose their plan of study to the department for approval. Each student will be assigned a departmental faculty mentor to oversee the project. Projects require extensive literature searches accompanied by oral and written presentations. Prerequisites: junior or senior status and department approval of project. 4 SH.
-
2.00 - 8.00 Credits
Individual student work in private industry or public agency. Open only when positions are available. The student, employer and the department internship coordinator must complete the student learning contract prior to the end of the drop/add deadline. Oral and written presentations and employer's written evaluation are required. Prerequisites: junior or senior standing and department permission. May be repeated for credit. 2-8 SH. Core: Capstone.
-
4.00 Credits
Independent research projects in the earth and environmental sciences. Prerequisite: junior or senior standing and department permission. 4 SH. Core: Capstone.
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Participate in another institution's summer field program and transfer the credits to satisfy the capstone experience requirement in earth and environmental sciences. Acceptable programs are those that are three-to-six weeks in length, and include field instruction, independent projects, and a final presentation of the completed work. Requirements to be met in residence at Susquehanna include attendance at Capstone class meetings and completion of projects assigned therein, to include both written and oral presentation of the work. Prerequisite: department permission. 2-4 SH. Core: Capstone.
-
4.00 Credits
An intensive introduction to college reading and writing, intended to prepare students for the challenge of college writing and to empower them to become members of a larger writing community. Sections limited to 18 students. For elective credit only; not for credit in the English major or minor. 4 SH.
