3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GLY 101 or GLY 103 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Introduces geological maps, cross sections and stratigraphic columns, the primary tools for conveying information in the earth sciences. Covers basic map-reading skills, mapmaking and cross-section construction, and interpretation. Introduces stereoscopic aerial photography and satellite imagery.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: LEC Explores the beauty of some of our nation s most spectacular national parks, including the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park, Bryce Canyon, and Acadia. Examines the fundamental geologic principles that allow understanding of how these unique landscapes were formed and how they change through time. Also examines how people affect the parks and how science enters into national policy decisions about their future.

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: LEC Explores dinosaurs as a biological group: their origin, anatomy, life habits, evolution, and extinction. Evaluates revolutionary new ideas on their physiology, behavior, and significance in the history of life. Uses dinosaurs to exemplify important evolutionary phenomena. There may be visits to the Buffalo Museum of Science and the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto.

4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Prerequisites: GLY 101-GLY 10or GLY 103-GLY 104 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Introduction to the origin of sedimentary rocks, including analysis of sediments and transport mechanisms, depositional environments, and recognition of common sedimentary rock types. Requires labs and field trip.
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Prerequisites: GLY 15 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Examines the character of the fossil record, its role in illuminating the nature of the evolutionary process, life s history, and use in interpretation of the age and environment of deposition of sedimentary rocks. Requires labs and field trip.
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Prerequisites: GLY 10or GLY 104 and CHE 101 or GLY 161 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Presents the fundamental principles of mineralogy, including mineral chemistry, mineral identification, phase diagrams, mineral structures, and elementary crystallography. Emphasizes environmentally important minerals. Requires lab.
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Prerequisites: GLY 305 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Presents the fundamental principles of petrology, including origin, occurrence, and evolution of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Integrates geochemical principles based on phase equilibria with interpretation of mineral assemblages present in common rocks. Plate tectonics and regional distribution of rock types form the broad framework for the course materials. Requires a field trip.
-
