  • 4.00 Credits

    Credits: 4 Prerequisites: GLY 312 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Second semester of two-semester sequence. See GLY 31for course description. Requires labs and field trip.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Credits: 4 Prerequisites: MTH 11 ; PHY 101 Corequisites: GLY 106 Type: LEC/LAB Introduces the fundamental concepts required to understand the scientific basis for plate tectonics, including deep Earth structure and theories of mantle convection. Describes major whole-Earth geophysical techniques (active-source seismology, earthquake seismology, gravity, magnetics, and heat flow). Uses general examples as well as specific case studies to support current tectonic theories. Practical application and hands-on use of seismic, gravity, and magnetic instrumentation take place in labs. Requires labs and one weekend field trip.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Credits: 4 Prerequisites: GLY 325 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Introduces students to the description, classification and interpretation of geological structures, including faults, folds and joints. Describes these structures in terms of their tectonic setting (extensional, strike-slip, contractional). In labs, introduces practical techniques for structural analysis.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: knowledge of basic univariate statistics Corequisites: None Type: LEC Presents major tools and concepts employed in the collection and analysis of morphological data (via geometric morphometrics and cladistics) in studies of the systematics, taxonomy, and evolutionary history of organisms, principally animals. Emphasizes practice rather than theory. Requires substantial written work.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GLY 305 GLY 306 Corequisites: None Type: LEC This course will describe the nature and origin of the raw materials that sustain modern life styles and developed societies. Lectures will emphasize the formation of economic deposits of metallic and non-metallic minerals, methods of mineral exploration and exploitation, and the environmental consequences of utilizing mineral resources. The laboratory will focus on identification of ore and associated gangue minerals using microscopic and macroscopic methods.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: BIO 309 or GLY 309 or BIO 411 or GLY 411 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Advanced course in the foundations of ecology emphasizing population and community ecology. Supplements lectures on basic ecological principles and models with discussions of both current and historically important issues.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GLY 309 or BIO 309 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Surveys tropical marine ecosystems, with an emphasis on coral reef communities. Examines processes controlling abundance and distribution of marine taxa using primary literature.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GLY 309 or GLY 216 Corequisites: None Type: LAB/LEC An intensive two week field course in the Bahamas focusing on coral reef communities. Combining lectures, fieldwork, and laboratory analyses, students conduct in depth studies of Caribbean marine habitats.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: CIE 354 or GLY 313, or permission of instructor Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Examines the occurrence and movement of water in the shallow subsurface, and its importance to water resource development and environmental pollution. Uses basic quantitative techniques for the prediction of water flow through porous and fractured geologic media. Laboratory includes hands-on experience with aquifer testing methods using wells located on campus. Primarily for students interested in the fields of hydrogeology, hydrology, environmental geology, and environmental and geotechnical engineering.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Credits: 4 Prerequisites: GLY 305 Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Clay minerals are the most abundant minerals at the surface of the earth. As such, they are of extreme importance in understanding environmental problems. In addition, clay minerals have interesting and useful properties that give them important technological value. This course examines the structure and chemistry of clay minerals and attempts to relate these to their properties, both geological and technological. Clay minerals are difficult to study because they typically occur as fine-grained materials and exhibit a wide range of defects.
