GEO 103: Understanding the Earth
LEC: Processes operating within and upon the earth. Relationship of plate tectonics to volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building. Development and modification of landscapes by rivers, glaciers, wind, waves, and ground water. Environmental implications of geologic processes. (Lec. 3, Lab. 2) (N)
GEO 320: Earth Materials
LEC: (4 crs.) Hand-sample identification and characterization of minerals and rocks, including crystallography, composition, classification, origin, and relationship to geological occurrence; also includes aspects of soil-forming minerals, ore deposits, and other mineral resources. (Lec. 3, Lab. 2) Pre: GEO 103, credit or concurrent enrollment in CHM 101 or 103.
GEO 397: Geosciences Internship
