-
3.00 Credits
Independent research projects based on laboratory, field or library investigations. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor and registration at least 1 block prior. 1 unit.
-
3.00 Credits
Foundational methods in geology, taught through field studies that examine the regional geology and tectonic evolution of the Rocky Mountain Region. Prerequisite: Geology 140. 1 unit - Siddoway.
-
3.00 Credits
Volcanic types, processes and products. Volcanic hazards and prediction. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor or Geology 201 and 202. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World requirement.) 1 unit - Quane.
-
3.00 Credits
History of Plate Tectonics and its formulation, paleomagnetic record of ocean crust, geodynamics and tectonic theory, active tectonics, current frontiers. Prerequisite: Geology 130 or 140 and one 200-level Geology course. 1 unit - Anderson.
-
3.00 Credits
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.
-
3.00 Credits
Mechanical and chemical processes involved in the development of landforms. Discussion of weathering and soils, mass movement, fluvial, and glacial/periglacial processes and landforms, tectonic geomorphology, and landscape evolution. Course involves significant components of laboratory and field work. Prerequisite: Geology 130 or 140 (PC 141 or 241 recommended). (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World requirement.) 1 unit - Ouimet.
-
3.00 Credits
Microscopic and megascopic study of the significant fossil invertebrate phyla with emphasis on taxonomy, morphology, ecology and evolution. Prerequisite: Geology 130 or 140. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World requirement.) (Not offered 2008-09.) 1 unit.
-
3.00 Credits
Transport and deposition of sediment, modern and ancient depositional systems, basin analysis, and correlation of sedimentary rocks. Field work emphasizes analysis of sedimentary structures and facies models for paleoenvironmental interpretation. Prerequisite: Geology 260 or 320. 1 unit - Myrow.
-
3.00 Credits
Independent research projects based on laboratory, field or library investigations. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor and registration at least 1 block prior. 1 unit.
-
3.00 Credits
Applications of physics to the study of Earth structure from crust to core. Seismology, magnetics, gravity, and geodesy.
