1.00 Credits
This is an ongoing research seminar for Geoscience majors. Prerequisite: Junior status
-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses on the crystal structures, chemical compositions and recurring associations of minerals--the major components of the Earth. It also discusses, in depth, the processes that generate and are recorded by mineral associations and their relationship to plate tectonics. Laboratory studies are designed to clarify and elaborate important concepts and analytical techniques related to the recognition and interpretation of individual minerals, their structure and composition as well as their association within the Earth. Prerequisites: GEOS 112 Introduction to Geology, or GEOS 220 Physical Geology
-
4.00 Credits
Offered in this class is an intensive study of the light transmitting properties of minerals. Laboratories are devoted to learning a variety of microscopic techniques in order to identify mineral samples using lighttransmitting properties. Prerequisite: GEOS 331 Mineralogy
-
4.00 Credits
This course examines the classification and recognition of the various forms of invertebrates found as fossils. Emphasis is on the distribution, evolution and extinction of major groups. Laboratories primarily deal with the classification of significant invertebrate fossil groups. Prerequisite: GEOS 241 Historical Geology or advanced standing in biology
-
4.00 Credits
Presented in this course is an analysis of the sedimentary rock of the earth's crust with respect to its distribution in time and space. Laboratories are devoted to studies of the contained flora, fauna, and principles of correlation. Prerequisites: GEOS 112 Introduction to Geology, or GEOS 220 Physical Geology
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to give students an in-depth knowledge of the origin of major landforms. A detailed study is made of the physiographic provinces of the United States to illustrate their history, geological structures and landform evolution. Laboratories are devoted to landform interpretation from topographic maps and aerial photographs. Prerequisites: GEOS 112 Introduction to Geology or GEOS 220 Physical Geology
-
4.00 Credits
Both traditional and modern methods of locating, describing, and mapping geological data are introduced in this course. Lectures introduce concepts and techniques, and field exercises allow the student to develop mapping abilities that can be utilized in both urban and rural areas, in the field and in the office. Prerequisites: GEOS 112 Introduction to Geology and GEOS 241 Historical Geology
-
4.00 Credits
Tides, waves, currents, salinity, characteristics of sea water, T-S diagrams, fluid mechanics, gulf stream, storm surges, methods of current measurement, advective and convective processes are covered in this course. Prerequisites: GEOS 115 Introduction to Oceanography and GEOS 224 Experimental Oceanography Recommended: PHYS 130 College Physics I, Lecture and PHYS 1130 College Physics I, Recitation/Laboratory
-
3.00 Credits
This course offers a study in the hydrological cycle, the physical, optical, and general characteristics of water and uses. Major types of pollution and their effect on the user, water supply, water resources, floods, and water management are covered. Prerequisite: GEOS 112 Introduction to Geology Recommended: PHYS 130 College Physics I, Lecture and PHYS 1130 College Physics I, Recitation/Laboratory
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of GEOS 340 with emphasis on aquifer hydraulics including principles of groundwater flow, geology of groundwater occurrence, regional groundwater flow, well hydraulics, groundwater quality and groundwater contamination, field methods and groundwater modeling techniques. Regulatory applications to groundwater are also studied. Prerequisite: GEOS 340 Hydrology I or permission of instructor
