GEOL 107: Geology of the American West
4.00 Credits
Westminster College (Salt Lake City)
This class uses case studies in Western North America to introduce students to the field of geology. Through investigations of the Pacific Northwest, the Colorado Plateau, the Wyoming Craton, and the Wasatch Mountains, students will learn the theories and concepts that geologists use to understand our entire planet. Be warned: this class will change the way you see the world. (WCore: WCSAM, QE)

GEOL 111: National Parks Geology
4.00 Credits
Westminster College (Salt Lake City)
Many of America's National Parks were designated because of their geologic beauty and history. This course will examine geologic principles and concepts through the lens of National Park Service units, as they often represent the most exquisite examples of geologic phenomena. Geology within national parks tells a story of the evolution of North America, from mountain building, to volcanism, to historic inland seas and giant beasts of an earlier geologic age.

GEOL 201: Earth Materials I: Mineralogy
4.00 Credits
Westminster College (Salt Lake City)
In this course, students will learn how atoms combine to form minerals, the most basic elements of geology. Emphasis will be placed on the diagnostic physical properties of minerals and how those properties result from the microscopic arrangement of atoms in the crystal lattice. Labs will give students the opportunity to work in teams to use those diagnostic properties to identify and classify mineral samples. Includes a 2-hour weekly lab. Prerequisite: GEOL 110, CHEM 111 (may be taken concurrently). (4)

GEOL 214: Sedimentology Stratigraphy
4.00 Credits
Westminster College (Salt Lake City)
This course takes an in-depth look at how geologists use sedimentary rocks to interpret the changing nature of the earth's surficial environment. This class utilizes actualistic experiments and field studies in addition to traditional lectures and discussions. Topics include the physical nature of sediment and sedimentary environments (shelf, terrestrial, and carbonate); naming clastic and chemical sedimentary rocks; dating, correlation, and magnetostratigraphy; biostratigraphy and biogeography; and sequence stratigraphy. Includes a 2-hour weekly lab. (4)

GEOL 230: Dinosaur Paleobiology
4.00 Credits
Westminster College (Salt Lake City)
They say you can't get blood from a stone, but paleontologists often try to do exactly that. With nothing but a few fossilized fragments, paleontologists reconstruct not just the anatomy of extinct creatures, but also their physiology, behavior, ecology, and life histories. This class will use dinosaurs as an extended case study to explore how paleontologists make claims about the lives of long dead creatures, and about how understanding those creatures' lives can lead to additional insights about the history of the earth and the dynamics of evolution.

GEOL 260: Geoliteracy
2.00 Credits
Westminster College (Salt Lake City)
This course serves prospective geology majors and minors with an overview of the field from the perspective of working geologists. Topics to be covered will include, but not be limited to, an overview of geological subdisciplines, reading the scholarly literature, careers in geology, and communicating geological information to a variety of audiences.

GEOL 300E: Natural Sciences of Hawaii
4.00 Credits
Westminster College (Salt Lake City)
This course will take a multidisciplinary approach to studying the island of Hawaii. Hawaii is one of the newest landmasses on Earth, and therefore can provide scientists with insights into how islands form and become inhabited. The fact that this is such a new natural environment does not, however, mean that it is pristine. Already this island is being adversely affected not only by the natural elements but also by commercial exploitation. Important aspects of our discussions will include island formation and the responsibilities that people have for the stewardship of the island known as "America's Paradise." There are two optional Scuba diving experiences for those that have their open water certification. One experience is included in the price of the trip; a second night dive with Manta Rays is available for an additional expense. This course fulfills the Engaging the World requirement.

GEOL 300F: Special Topics: Marine Geology
4.00 Credits
Westminster College (Salt Lake City)
The oceans cover more than half of our planet, and the ocean floor is where many important geological processes actually play out. This course investigates the geology and history of the ocean floor as well as the methods geologists use to study them.
