Includes discussions about engineering geology (the application of geology to the solution of engineering problems, including civil and sanitary engineering), soil mechanics, rock mechanics, hydrogeology, resource exploration (minerals and petroleum), and environmental geology. Prerequisites: Pre- or corequisites: GEOL 3250, GEOL 4350, and GEOL 4390, or consent of instructor. (Spring, even-numbered years)
-
3.00 Credits
(1 Unit) Laboratory to accompany GEOL 4400. Soil mechanics, rock mechanics, slope stability analysis, rockfall analysis, seismic engineering, coastal erosion, waste management, exploration for mineral resources, environmental geology. Corequisites: GEOL 4400. (Laboratory, 3 hours, including some field trips) (Spring, even-numbered years)
-
4.00 Credits
(4 Units) Four projects, up to one week in length each, allow for experience in measurement of stratigraphic sections, and geologic mapping in faulted and folded sedimentary and volcanic rocks, and in areas underlain by intrusive and metamorphic rocks. Students will prepare a report for each field project, to synthesize the field data and present a professional geologic map and cross sections. Satisfies upper-division writing proficiency requirement. Prerequisites: Completion of the Writing Proficiency Screening Test with a passing score and GEOL 4360. (Lecture, 2 hours; laboratory or field work, 6 hours) (Winter or Spring of alternate years)
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) Study of plate tectonic theory - the unifying theory in geology. Continental drift, sea-floor spreading, paleomagnetism, seismic evidence, petrology, geochemistry, structural geology, paleontology, and ore geology, both in support of and implied by the theory, are examined. (Formerly GEOL 3400) Prerequisites: Prerequisites or corequisites: GEOL 3250, GEOL 4100, and GEOL 4380. (Spring of odd-numbered years)
-
3.00 Credits
(4 Units) Addresses the growing challenges related to water supply, sustainable solutions to these challenges, strategies for development of water resources, watershed management, and drought management. ITV lectures, three field visits, and one Forum Day. (Formerly Water Resources Development and Management) Satisfies G.E. area F1. (Lecture, 3 hours; activity, 2 hours) (Fall of even-numbered years)
-
