Lecture, 2 hours; laboratory, 2 hours; two 2-day field trips. Prerequisite(s): GEO 001 with a grade of "C-" or better or GEO 002 with a grade of "C-" or better. Examines geological evidence of environmental change throughout Quaternary times ("Ice Age") toprovide a framework for understanding natural environmental change and for predicting future change.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, 2 hours; laboratory, 6 hours; one 2-day field trip. Prerequisite(s): upper-division standing or consent of instructor. A study of surficial processes related to the development and evolution of landforms and landscapes at the Earth's surface. Emphasis is on weathering regimes, mass wasting and hillslope development, river process, and form. Examines erosional and depositional processes in tectonic, volcanic, arid, karst, glacial, and coastal landscapes.

Application of biogeographic and ecological theories in the conservation of plants, animals, and wildlands. Topics include biological preserve design, ecological consequences of land development, and wildlife-habitat relationships.

Lecture, 3 hours; laboratory, 3 hours; two 1-day field trips. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 005C with a grade of "C-" or better or BIOL 010/GEO 003 with a grade of "C-" or better. Survey of the flora, distribution, and ecology of California ecosystems, including Mediterranean shrubland, conifer forests, desert scrub, valley forbfields, and exotic grasslands. Discusses vegetation in relation to climate, physiography, fire, landscape steady states, biological invasions, paleobotany, and broad-scale change due to land development, invasive species, grazing, and fire suppression.
-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
Individual study, 3-15 hours. Prerequisite(s): upper-division standing; consent of instructor and department chair. Individual study to meet special curricular needs. Course is repeatable to a maximum of 9 units.

1.00 Credits
Seminar, 1 hour. Prerequisite(s): open to upper division Geological Sciences majors only. For undergraduate students who desire formal participation in the weekly departmental seminar. In addition to attending the seminar, students must write abstracts describing two of the presentations. Graded Satisfactory (S) or No Credit (NC). May be repeated to a total of 6 units.
-
3.00 - 5.00 Credits
hours per week to be established by supervisor. Prerequisite(s): senior status; consent of instructor. Preparation of a thesis based upon supervised field and/or laboratory research and literature review in the geological sciences. The thesis may be undertaken as a one-, two-, or three-quarter sequence. In the case of a two- or three-quarter sequence, the final grade will be deferred until completion of the last quarter. Total credits for GEO 195A, GEO 195B, and GEO 195C may not exceed 9 units.
