Geology Courses

GEOL 1103 - Physical Geology Laboratory

This course is designed to complement GEOL 1303. The laboratory includes investigation of current and past geologic events as well as identifi cation of the different rock types. Laboratory examinations and experiments as well as computer modeling and simulations will be used. Some field trips may be required. Prerequisite: GEOL 1303 or concurrent enrollment in GEOL 1303.  $24 lab fee. R, W

GEOL 1104 - Historical Geology Laboratory

This course is designed to complement GEOL 1304. This course will present a study of the geologic history and evolution of the earth to the present. The course involves laboratory examinations and experiments, as well as, computer modeling and simulations. Some field trips may be required. Prerequisite: GEOL 1103 and GEOL 1304 or concurrent enrollment in GEOL 1304.  $24 lab fee. R, W

GEOL 1303 - Physical Geology

Principles of physical geology. This course studies the earth’s composition, structure, and resources. Also examined are the internal and external processes that change and shape the planet we live on.   R, W

GEOL 1304 - Historical Geology

This course will present a study of the geological history and evolution of the Earth. The course focuses on the relationship between geologic events throughout Earth’s history and the evolution of its plants and animals. Prerequisite: GEOL 1303,   R, W

GEOL 1305 - Environmental Geology

This course studies the earth as a habitat. The main focus is on the interrelationships between humans and the environment with emphasis placed on the geological aspect.
