-
4.00 - 6.00 Credits
Provides intensive field and laboratory training in the use of equipment and techniques in geology, hydrology, and cartography. Field trips are integral, vital parts of the course. Additional fees may be required to cover room, board, and transportation in the field. Students are also expected to supply much of their own field equipment. Course meets all day (8 a.m. - 4 p.m.) five to seven days a week for four to six weeks.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced topics in coastal geomorphology and environmental issues pertinent to coastal settings, including human impacts on coastal landforms, shoreline erosion, wetland loss, sea-level fluctuations, nutrients in estuaries, metals in bays, and impacts from climate change. Lecture, field trips, and laboratory exercises are designed to provide students with hands-on experience with field and laboratory equipment used to solve real-world problems in diverse coastal settings.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the processes, tools, and techniques used to analyze environmental problems, establish state and federal standards, develop impact statements, and make decisions regarding the environment. Students will learn to use environmental impact methodologies and gather field data to analyze problems and develop an actual environmental assessment with a purpose/need for action, generate alternatives to complete the needed action, and address the environmental (natural, cultural, socio-economic, human health and safety) consequences of each alternative.)
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces students to basic geochemical properties of surface and groundwater as well as controls on the geochemistry of natural waters. Emphasizes methods of sampling and analysis of natural waters for chemical species pertinent to environmental and pollution studies.
-
4.00 Credits
Studies of the geologic occurrence and methods of locating, mining, evaluating, and processing fossil fuels, industrial, and ore minerals. Geology of major, world-wide fuel and mineral deposits and environmental problems associated with their exploitation. Students consider factors that influence the economics of energy and mineral exploitation and explore renewable and nuclear energy sources. Lecture and laboratory exercises are designed to provide students with hands-on experience using relevant laboratory equipment.
-
3.00 Credits
Discusses the geological aspects of petroleum, including its properties, origin, migration and accumulation in subsurface reservoirs. In addition, the course also emphasizes the geological and geophysical techniques of petroleum exploration and production. Field trips may be required.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces students to modern concepts and methods in Paleobiology and its importance to understanding the origin and evolution of biodiversity using organisms preserved in the fossil record.-a-a-a Field trips may be required.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on groundwater flow theory, well hydraulics, exploration techniques, development of groundwater supplies, and prevention or correction of ground-water pollution. A one- or two- day field trip may be required.
-
3.00 Credits
Applies knowledge of water movement upon and within the earth and mathematical principles to solve practical problems in water resources.-a Emphasis is placed on surface hydrology.-a Several field trips may be required.-a-a
-
4.00 Credits
Examines the theory and application of geophysical methods for exploring the Earth's subsurface environment. Emphasis is placed on those tools used by agencies or companies involved in resource and environmental assessment. Field trips are required.
