-
3.00 Credits
The form and spatial relationships of various rock masses and an introduction to rock deformation; consideration of basic processes to understand mountain building and continental formation; laboratory emphasizes practical techniques which enable students to analyze regional structural patterns. Includes labs. Prerequisite: GEOS 201 or consent of instructor. (4)
-
3.00 Credits
Theory and practice of mineral studies using the petrographic microscope, including immersion oil techniques, production of thin sections, and determination of minerals by means of their optical properties. Includes labs. Prerequisite: GEOS 201 or consent of instructor. (2)
-
3.00 Credits
Formational principles of surface-accumulated rocks, and their incorporation in the stratigraphic record. This subject is basic to field mapping and structural interpretation. Includes labs. Prerequisite: GEOS 201 or consent of instructor. (4)
-
3.00 Credits
A systematic study of the fossil record, combining principles of evolutionary development, paleohabitats and preservation, with practical experience of specimen identification. Includes labs. Prerequisite: GEOS 201 or consent of instructor. (4)
-
3.00 Credits
Consideration of the mineralogical and textural changes that rocks undergo during orogenic episodes, including physicalchemical parameters of the environment as deduced from experimental studies. Includes labs. Prerequisites: GEOS 201, 326 or consent of instructor. (2)
-
3.00 Credits
Maps as a basic tool for communicating spatial information. An introduction to cartographic principles, processes and problems, with emphasis on selection, presentation and interpretation of information. Includes discussions of topographic maps, Global Positioning Systems, digital maps, remotely sensed images and aerial photographs. Includes labs. Prerequisite: Previous science (geosciences preferred) or consent of instructor. (4)
-
3.00 Credits
Computer-based Geographic Information Systems, digital maps, and data sources. The creation, interpretation, and analysis of digital maps from multiple data sources. Analysis of spatial information from sciences, social sciences, and humanities using sets of digital maps. Includes labs. Prerequisite: Previous science (geoscience preferred), math or computer science course or consent of instructor. GEOS 330 or familiarity with maps recommended. (4)
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the processes that shape the Earth's surface with emphasis on the effects of rock type, geologic structure, and climate on the formation and evolution of landforms. Includes labs. Prerequisite: GEOS 201 or consent of instructor. (4)
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the hydrologic cycle, investigating surface and groundwater flow, resource evaluation and development, wells, water quality and geothermal resources. Emphasis on water problems in the Puget Sound area, with additional examples from diverse geologic environments. Includes labs. Prerequisite: GEOS 201 or consent of instructor. (4)
