3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: consent of instructor based on completion of ERSC 1302/1102, GEOG 1311, or the equivalent. Humans as a geologic agents, geologic hazards in the environment, geology and land use studies, urban geology, and case histories. Dual-listed as ERSC 5322. Three hours lecture per week. Three credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ERSC 1302/1102, consent of instructor. Regional geomorphology, structure, stratigraphy, and paleontology of Arkansas. Includes field trips to Ozark dome, Ouachita fold belt, Arkansas Valley, and Mississippi Embayment/Gulf Coastal Plain. Dual-listed as ERSC 5323. Three hours lecture per week, weekend field trips. Three credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Eight hours of core science and consent of instructor. This course explores the geology and ecology of the shallow-water marine environment by examining the preeminent modern example, the Bahamas platform. The Bahamas provide an excellent model for understanding modern and ancient carbonate and reef deposits, and variety of terrestrial/aquatic habitats. Biological processes are ultimately responsible for many of the geological features of the Bahamas, so the course considers the biology/ecology of marine organisms in addition to geological topics. The field component is based at the Gerace Field Center for Geological, Biological, and Anthropological Research on San Salvador Island, Bahamas. Seventy-five hours of lecture/laboratory/field activity. Dual-listed asERSC 5353. Three credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 1303 or higher or the consent of instructor. The study of the interaction of rock, soil and geologic processes with the engineering activities of man by applying geological data, techniques and principles. The integration of geological, geotechnical and geophysical investigative methods will be emphasized. Lecture topics will include soil and rock mechanics and rock deformation, the assessment of the spatial-temporal variability of sub surface materials, slope stability analysis and slope failure mitigation, earthquake engineering, hydrologic system management, and the application of GIS and geology. Dual-listed as ERSC 5371. Two hours lecture, two hours laboratory per week. Three credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MATH 1302 or MATH 1311; ERSC 3430. Ground water occurrence, flow, porosity, permeability, aquifer analysis, geology of ground water, water well logging, well development, case histories, field methods, hydrogeologic planning. Dual-listed in the UALR Graduate Catalog as ERSC 5373. Three hours lecture per week. Three credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: senior honors standing in geology. Various topics for thorough research selected by students in consultation with an advisor. Field work and/or experimental or laboratory work resulting in a report to be critiqued by at least two faculty members (no oral defense). The student is expected to spend at least nine hours per week on the project. The exact hourly commitment per week will depend on the nature of the project and will be agreed on in advance by the student and the instructor. Three credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Junior undergraduate standing or graduate standing and consent and approval of assignment by advisor. Supervised professional experience related to students discipline with governmental agencies, industry and consulting firms. This course requires a minimum of 200 semester work hours. Three credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite or corequisite: ERSC 3310. Composition, characteristics, classification, occurrence, and petrogenesis of the igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Megascopic and microscopic methods of description. Two hours lecture, four hours laboratory per week. Four credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ERSC 1302, ERSC 1102, ERSC 3320, or consent of instructor. The study of form and process at the Earth's surface. The interactions between erosional and depositional processes at the Earth's surface with tectonic processes operating within the Earth are examined with respect to landform evolution. Laboratory includes the analysis of maps, digital imagery, and field applications of GPS/GIS technology. Dual-listed in the UALR Graduate Catalog as ERSC 5419. Two hours lecture, four hours laboratory or field study per week. Four credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: consent of instructor. This course introduces Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the use of spatial data for problem-solving in science. The lecture portion of the course focuses on the data models used to represent spatial features and on the processes involved in creating, acquiring, analyzing, and displaying georeferenced information. The laboratory portion of the course employs a project-based methodology including applications from geology, biology, environmental science, and political science to foster basic GIS software proficiency. Dual-listed as ERSC 5421. Two hours lecture per week, four laboratory hours. Four credit hours.
