Geology of Natural Resources Prerequisite: None Geology is the science that pursures an understanding of the Earth, including the materials that make it up and the processes by which they form. This course uses basic physical geological principles to understand the orgin, distribution, and use of the Earth's natural resources both now and into the future. These resources include metal and mineral deposits, energy, soil, rocks, and water. This course can be taken in conjunction with EES 112 (Earth Science Laboratory) to satisfy the requirements of a science with a lab. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture School of Arts and Sciences College Environmental Earth Science Department Course Attributes: GER IIIB-Natural Sciences, LAC tins-Natural Science

3.00 Credits
Global Climate Change Prerequisite: None A study of the scientific data, physical theory, and computer models that scientists are using to predict rapid global warming during the current century. These predictions will be compared to previous climate history of the Earth. We will examine evidence that human activities, especially the emission of carbon dioxide through the burning of fossil fuels, is the dominant cause of current global climate change and that global warming will cause irreversible damage to natural ecosystems and will cause substantial economic and health damage to human populations. We will also evaluate proposals for decreasing the amount of global climate change and adapting to climate change. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture School of Arts and Sciences College Environmental Earth Science Department Course Attributes: GER IIIB-Natural Sciences, LAC tins-Natural Science

3.00 Credits
Sustainable Energy and the Environment Prerequisite: LAC student with tins course or GER student This course will evaluate the environmental impacts of power generation based on fossil fuels and nuclear fission and will describe alternatives to these technologies, including conservation, mass transit, electric and hybrid electric vehicles, passive solar energy, solar thermal systems, photovoltaic power systems, hydroelectric power, wind energy, tidal power, ocean thermalenergy, biomass, fuel cells, hydrogen fuel systems, and nuclear fusion. The course will evaluate the environmental, economic, and social issues related to the transition to sustainable energy systems. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture, Online School of Arts and Sciences College Environmental Earth Science Department Course Attributes: GER IA-Inquiry and Analysis, LAC T2NS-Natural Science
