  • GY 250: Studies in Geology

    3.00 Credits
    Colorado College

    Geological topics, such as Advanced Environmental Geology, Hydrology, Mineral Resources Problems and Policies, and Colorado Alpine Environments, offered in different years. (May meet the laboratory/field requirement for natural sciences.) Block 6: Studies in Geology: GIS, Remote Sensing, and Image Interpretation for Geological Applications. Principles and methods of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and image interpretation for geological applications. Practical use of data and methods leads to interpretations about geologic processes and landforms on Earth and on Mars. Prerequisite: Geology 130 or 140. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World requirement.) 1 unit - Ouimet. Block 7: Studies in Geology: Economic Geology. This course will be designed as a survey of the current theories and techniques involved in using our earth resources to benefit society. We will explore the geologic and tectonic situations that have the capacity to generate valuable mineral deposits and oil and gas reserves. We will employ various geologic techniques including structural analysis, geochemical analysis, rock and mineral identification to best assess resource potential. In addition, we will visit industries that excavate (mines, oil and gas wells) and process raw earth materials and field sites representing potential sites for resource deposits. Lastly, we will discuss policy aspects of the world's current and future use of natural resources. Prerequisite: Geology 130 or 140. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World requirement.) 1 unit - Quane.
