4.00 Credits
An introduction to how the Earth works and the geophysical and geochemical basis for our understanding of the Earth, emphasizing Alaskan examples. A course theme is that the Earth is changing around us, at a variety of scales. In all laboratory exercises students collect, analyze and interpret data, including that generated by a variety of geochemical and geophysical tools. Includes at least one field exercise in the Fairbanks area and an opportunity to observe freshly-poured lava. Prerequisites: Placement in WRTG F111X; placement in DEVM F105.

Promote a broader understanding of deep time through an examination of life and environments during the Mesozoic, or "Age of Dinosaurs." Discussions and exercises will focus on major events and processes that shaped the physical environments of the Mesozoic, such as the formation and break up of continents, global climate, and changing sea levels. Building on this foundation, the course will examine the fossil record to learn what it reveals about the major patterns in the diversity of terrestrial and marine life. Special emphasis will be placed on the origin, extinction, and paleobiology of dinosaurs. Important groups of contemporary vertebrates and invertebrates, including marine reptiles, mammals, flying reptiles, and ammonites will also be examined. The rise of flowering plants and the importance of fossil floras in understanding Mesozoic climates will be explored. Labs will provide opportunities to examine and identify fossils and use them to reconstruct ancient environments. Prerequisites: Placement in WRTG F111X; placement in DEVM F105. Offered Spring Even-numbered Years

4.00 Credits
Historical geologic interpretation, geologic time scale, stratigraphic record and interpretation. Sedimentation and plate tectonics, fossil record and utilization, biostratigraphy, and geologic evolution of the North American continent. Lab examination of fossils, interpretation of geologic maps and stratigraphic columns. Prerequisites: GEOS F101X; placement in WRTG F111X; placement in DEVM F105. Offered Spring

4.00 Credits
A survey course for the nonspecialist on the causes, effects, measurements and prediction of glaciers, earthquakes and volcanoes. Prerequisites: Placement in WRTG F111X; placement in DEVM F105.
-
4.00 Credits
Application of principles of the geological sciences to understanding the relationship of humans to the earth system. Investigation of geologic hazards, including prediction and mitigation, use and distribution of vital resources such as soil, water, minerals, and fossil and alternative fuel sources, especially with respect to Alaska's environment. Earth's atmospheric, oceanic and biotic systems examined in light of recent developments in global environmental change from both a modern and geologic perspective. Prerequisites: Placement in ENGL F111X; placement in DEVM F105. Offered Spring

2.00 Credits
This course explores the relationship between geology, climate, and viticulture. Aspects of geology that influence landscape, soil development and climate are evaluated in reference to their effects on wine-growing regions. The geology, tectonic setting, soil and climate of individual wine-growing areas will be explored through lectures, discussions, class projects/presentations, and lab wine tastings. Offered Spring Even-numbered Years Prerequisites: Student must be 21 years of age to enroll.
