-
3.00 Credits
The course provides an in-depth study of the origin, transport, and deposition of ocean floor sediments as related to the morphologic features of the ocean floor such as the properties of sea water, water masses, their origin, dynamics, and distribution of air-sea interaction influence on oceanic structure and measurements, techniques, and methods of data processing. Prerequisite of GLY 1 or ERS 2 is required.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the following: geometry of individual structures, rock deformation, major structures of the crust, the structural evolution of continents, and tectonic theories. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Prerequisite of (GLY 1 or ERS 2) is required.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course is a comprehensive analysis of landforms and the constructional and destructional forces and processes controlling their growth and decay in various structural, lithologic, geographic and climactic settings. Laboratory work includes study and interpretation of geomorphic features and relations as depicted on topographic maps and air photographs. Three hours lecture when offered for three credits; three hours lecture, three hours laboratory when offered for four credits. Prerequisite of (GLY 1 or ERS 2) is required.
-
3.00 Credits
The principles that govern the occurrence, amount, and movement of ground water are studied along with the geologic work of ground water and factors affecting the quality of ground water. Study of the problems affecting Long Island and other selected areas in the United States and elsewhere is included. Prerequisite of GLY 1 or ERS 2 is required.
-
4.00 Credits
An outline of the principles and methods used by geologists to reconstruct the history of the Earth. Topics include the historical development of the crust; the geologic time scale; fossils; the changing pattern of ancient environments; the evolution of plant and animal life against the background of changing environments. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Prerequisite of GLY 1 or ERS 2 is required.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers formation, chemical and physical properties, identification and classification of minerals - their uses and importance for the geologist as part of the human environment. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Prerequisite of GLY 1 or ERS 2 or the equivalent is required.
-
4.00 Credits
This course studies igneous and metamorphic rocks in terms of their classification, chemistry and mineralogy, modes of formation and characteristic tectonic environments. The lab portion concentrates on igneous and metamorphic rock identification of hand specimens through the petrographic microscope. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Prerequisites of GLY 21 and GLY 24 are required.
-
3.00 Credits
This course studies the chemistry of the Earth and interactions of the solid Earth with the hydrosphere and atmosphere. Topics include the chemistry of soils and soil contamination, isotopic traces of environmental and climatic change, the geologic connection in the carbon cycle, natural geochemical hazards such as lead, arsenic, and radon, and geologic disposal of radioactive waste. Prerequisites of (GLY 1 or ERS 2) and CHM 3 or permission of instructor are required.
-
2.00 Credits
This course studies elements of optical crystallography in addition to the principles and use of the petrographic microscope in the study and identification of rock forming minerals in thin sections and fragments. One hour lecture, three hours laboratory. Prerequisite of GLY 21 is required.
-
3.00 Credits
The course studies mineral deposits and the principles of formation, description and classification of the important types of mineral deposits, such as metallic minerals, construction materials, and selected fuels. Prerequisite of GLY 21 is required.
