0.50 - 1.00 Credits
0.5-1 course A continuation of FREN 427.
-
1.00 Credits
Group 1,, lab 1 course An investigation of the theory of plate tectonics and how it explains the distribution of earthquake and volcanic activity throughout the world. Destructive historical earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are examined with consideration of the impact of these disasters on human populations. Advances in the prediction of earthquake and volcanic activity also are evaluated. May include lab some semesters.
-
1.00 Credits
Group 1, 1 course Study of the geologic history of America via the National Park System. The course focuses on origin and evolution of landforms in various national parks and the geologic processes that created and sculpted them. Park features serve as a point of departure for interdisciplinary discussions on society's impact on the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. May include lab some semesters.
-
1.00 Credits
Group 1, 1 course An introduction to the processes that influence the physical and chemical nature of the earth's surface. Although these processes are frequently naturally occurring, special attention is given to the influence of human actions on the environment. Students explore the environmental impact of the extraction and use of natural resources, and interactions between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere as they pertain to environmental issues.
-
1.00 Credits
Group 1,, lab 1 course Includes laboratory. An introduction to the materials that make up the earth and the interplay between constructive and destructive processes that shape the earth, including plate tectonics. Laboratories include mineral and rock identification, field trips, and topographic map interpretation.
-
1.00 Credits
Group 1, 1 course An introduction to the earth's physical environment. Earth-sun relationships, weather, climate, natural vegetation, soils and landforms are studied.
-
1.00 Credits
Group 1, 1 course An introduction to the study of environmental science. Topics include matter, energy, ecosystems, human populations, natural resources, and the impact of human activity on the natural environment. Special attention is given to current environmental problems including air and water pollution, acid rain, stratospheric ozone depletion, climate change, deforestation, and species extinctions.
-
1.00 Credits
1 course A seminar focused on a theme related to the study of geography. Open only to first-year students.
-

1 course A seminar focused on a theme related to the study of geology. Open only to first-year students.
-
3.00 Credits
1 An introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its applications. Emphasis on cartographic concepts, strengths and limitations of different GIS data formats, spatial statistics, and spatial analysis. Students use a variety of specialized GIS tools to solve spatial problems and map spatial phenomena. 100-level geoscience course recommended, but not required.
