3.00 Credits
A survey course focusing on the recognition and use of paleosols (fossil soils) as paleoenvironmental indicators, stratigraphic markers and in paleogeographic reconstructions from Precambrian to Holocene. Examination of theories of soil formation, major soil processes and approaches to soil classification. Review of geochemical, mineralogical, morphological and micromorphological techniques. Use of paleosols for paleolandscape evolution and basin analysis. Geological, tectonic, archaeological and environmental applications of paleosols are discussed. Prerequisites: GEOS F322 or NRM F380. Stacked with GEOS F656. Offered Fall Even-numbered Years

Application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to geospatial problems in volcanology, glaciology, environmental mapping and other geophysical disciplines. Landscape classification, linear regression modeling, and manipulation of geodatabases using ESRI's ArcGIS software. Use of model builder and Python scripting to automate geospatial processing. Hands-on experience with recreational, mapping and survey-grade GPS receivers. Differential correction of GPS solutions using real-time and post-processing methods. Course is not available for audit.

3.00 Credits
Alaska's diverse coastal system provides abundant ecosystem services and globally important resources. This course provides an interdisciplinary perspective on the dynamic coastal landscape of Alaska from Southcentral to the Arctic, and delves into the driving geological, oceanographic and climate processes shaping Alaska's past and present coastline. Through a semester long research projects students will learn how to measure and map coastal changes associated with natural and human perturbations. An overnight field trip will serve as an active learning opportunity to integrate course knowledge with hands-on field work. Prerequisites: Junior standing; GEOG F111X or GEOS F101X; CHEM F105X or PHYS F103X; NRM F338 or equivalent GIS coursework. Cross-listed with GEOG F460. Stacked with GEOS F660;GEOG F660. Offered Spring Even-numbered Years
Prerequisite:
(GEOG F111X UF C- OR GEOS F101X UF C- ) (AND CHEM F105X UF C- OR PHYS F103X UF C- ) (AND NRM F338 UF C- )

3.00 Credits
Earth's cryosphere includes seasonal snow, permafrost, sea ice, mountain glaciers and ice sheets. This course will cover the formation of each of these forms of snow and ice and their response to changing environmental conditions. Interdisciplinary perspectives allow study of the role snow and ice plays within the Arctic system (including atmosphere, ocean and ecosystems), with an emphasis on Alaska. The cryosphere will also be placed in context of the global climate system. Course will include instructor and peer feedback. Prerequisites: PHYS F103X or PHYS F211X; MATH F251X. Offered Spring Even-numbered Years
Prerequisite:
(PHYS F103X UF C- OR PHYS F211X UF C- ) (AND MATH F200X UF C- OR MATH F251X UF C- )
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of the paleoenviroments of Alaska including climate, glacier and biotic history including humans. Emphasis on events of the past that have left important legacies on present landscapes. The course begins with two weekend field trips and then surveys key literature describing Alaska's ice-age history. The focus is on Alaska and the Yukon, but topics will range more widely into other parts of the Arctic and its adjacent seas. Prerequisites: Senior standing in anthropology, biological Sciences, Earth science, geography, geoscience, or northern studies. Cross-listed with GEOG F478. Stacked with GEOG F678;GEOS F678.
-
1.00 Credits
A weekly seminar, given by guest speakers, on a topic in geosciences. Students are expected to prepare for the seminars and to participate in discussion following the seminars. Stacked with GEOS F682.
