4.00 Credits
Three hours lecture Three hours laboratory per week. UC/CSU, AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC, CAN GEOL 2 This course is an introductory study of the composition, structure, and geologic features of the earth, with emphasis upon the physical forces and events which govern the origin, distribution and change of the earth and its surface. The laboratory work includes identification of rocks and minerals, interpretation of topographic maps and geologic survey data, study of landforms and rock structures, and some field trips. High school physics or chemistry is recommended background. ( Not open to students with credit in GEOL 100 C or GEOL 101 C.)

4.00 Credits
Three hours lecture and Three hours laboratory per week. UC/CSU, AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC, CAN GEOL 4 This course is an introduction to the scientific method of exploring planetary materials and structures in understanding the origin and development of the earth and its organisms through time. Laboratory involves examining and classifying rock and fossil specimens, analyses of rock and fossil records found on and in the earth, and application of rock and fossil interpretations to historical geology.

3.00 Credits
Three hours lecture per week. UC/CSU, AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC This course is a survey of the composition and structure of the earth's ocean showing the interrelationship between atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. The effects of modern technology, ocean resources, and marine pollution will be explored.
-
1.00 Credits
Three hours laboratory per week and selected field trips. UC/CSU, AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC Prerequisite: Completion of, or concurrent enrollment in, GEOL 130 C. This course includes the identification of earth materials; understanding of bathymetric charts; basic navigation; and methods of oceanographic research.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours lecture Two hours laboratory per week. CSU Prerequisite: Completion of, or concurrent enrollment in, GEOL 102 C, or GEOL 100 C and GEOL 101 C. This course includes the techniques for development of geologic maps, cross sections, display charts and geologic photography, including remote sensing. It also includes practice in lettering, scaling, and three-dimensional illustration through orthographic and auxiliary projections as applied to preparation and interpretation of geologic maps. Other topics considered include geologic drilling procedures, paleontological and core sampling techniques, and methods used for analysis of geologic samples. Materials, equipment and supplies used by geologists, including their acquisition, operation, maintenance and inventory will be presented. It is recommended that ENGT 101 C be taken prior to, or concurrently with, GEOL 150 C.
