GLY 417: Stable Isotopes and the Environment
3.00 Credits
University at Buffalo
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: CHE 101, CHE 10, GLY 161 or equivalent Corequisites: None Type: LEC Small differences in atomic mass among stable (non-radioactive) isotopes of the same element can give rise to differences in partitioning within the environment. This course explores how isotopes fractionate and how this behavior can be used to understand and decipher complex natural processes. The hydrologic cycle will be used as a staring point to illustrate and develop the framework for applying stable isotopes to examine the broader environment. This will provide a comprehensive knowledge base to apply the interpretation of stable isotope data to research questions in geologic, biologic, and environmental sciences in the second part of the course.

GLY 427: Modeling of Geologic Data
3.00 Credits
University at Buffalo
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GLY 429 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Computer modeling of complex processes is becoming more important in a number of geological areas, such as risk assessment, movement of toxic contaminants in an aquifer, crystallization of magmas, and impact cratering. Students develop knowledge of the processes whereby a geological problem is reduced to a mathematical model, the model is translated into a computer program, and the program is utilized to produce numerical and graphical results. The course assumes that students have a good familiarity with digital computers. Any mathematical complexities are explained as the course progresses.

GLY 428: Geological Disaster Prevention
3.00 Credits
University at Buffalo
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: GLY 101-GLY 10or GLY 103-GLY 104 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Discusses disasters that may include those related to volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, windstorms, tsunamis, river floods, and hazardous waste storage. Topics include models of geological phenomena, consequences of hazards, and risk assessment. Case studies analyzed for each phenomenon. A simulated crisis or debate on a controversial topic takes place during the last week of the course.

GLY 432: Colonial Paleobiology
3.00 Credits
University at Buffalo
Credits: 3 Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: LEC/LAB Examines the empirical phenomena (their morphology, morphogenesis and adaptations, their evolutionary role and history) associated with coloniality in graptolites, pterobrachs, ectoprocts, enidarians and others. Discusses the numerous theoretical issues that have been raised in the study of these groups.
