2003-2004 Catalog of Studies

(GEOS) GEOSCIENCES

GEOS1113 General Geology (FA, SP, SU) Survey of geological processes and products, and their relationships to landforms, natural resources, living environments and human beings. Lecture 3 hours per week. GEOS 1111L is recommended as a corequisite.

GEOS1111L General Geology Laboratory (FA, SP, SU) Laboratory exercises concerning the identification of rocks and minerals, use of aerial photographs and topographic maps, and several field trips. Pre- or Corequisite: GEOS 1113.

GEOS1133 Environmental Geology (SP) The application of geologic principles and knowledge of problems created by human occupancy and exploitation of the physical environment. Prerequisite: GEOL 1113 and GEOL 1111L or GEOG 1003 and GEOG 1001L.

GEOS1131L Environmental Geology Lab (FA, SP, SU) Laboratory exercise concerning human interactions with the physical environment including the study of earthquakes, volcanoes, flooding, erosion, mass wasting, water supply and contamination, and waste disposal. Prerequisite: GEOL 1113 and GEOL 111L or GEOG 1003 and GEOG 1001L.

GEOS4413 Principles of Remote Sensing (FA) Theoretical and practical consideration of radar imagery, aerial photography, and infrared imagery for understanding Earth resource problems related to agriculture, archeology, engineering, forestry, geography, and geology. Corequisite: GEOS 4410L. Prerequisite: GEOL 1004 and GEOL 1113 or GEOL 3002.

GEOS4410L Principles of Remote Sensing Laboratory (FA) Corequisite: GEOS 4413.

GEOS4563 Geology of Our National Parks (FA) This course examines the underlying geology responsible for selected parks, and explores the interplay of geology, biology, climate, topography, and humans to evaluate the value of the parks, and to anticipate the problems they will face in the near and long-term. Prerequisite: GEOL 1113.

GEOS4563H Honors Geology of Our National Parks (FA) This course examines the underlying geology responsible for selected parks, and explores the interplay of geology, biology, climate, topography, and humans to evaluate the value of the parks, and to anticipate the problems they will face in the near and long-term. Prerequisite: GEOL 1113.

GEOS4560L Geology of Our National Parks Laboratory (FA)

GEOS4633 Near Surface Prospection (SP) Geophysical remote sensing methods are investigated for detecting and mapping subsurface features up to 5m in depth. Magnetometry, resistivity, conductivity, ground-penetrating radar, and other methods are examined with a particular focus on their use for understanding archeological deposits. Requires use of instruments, computer skills, and field trips. (Same as ANTH 4633) Prerequisite: ANTH 4553 or GEOG 4553 or ANTH 4573 or GEOG 4573 or GEOG 4543 and GEOL 1113 and ANTH 3023.

GEOS4693 Environmental Justice (SP) This course deals with the ethical, environmental, legal, economic, and social implications of society's treatment of the poor, the disenfranchised, and minorities who live in the less desirable, deteriorating neighborhoods, communities, and niches of our country. The class integrates science with philosophy, politics, economics, policy, and law, drawing on award-winning films, current news, and case studies.

GEOS4693H Honors Environmental Justice (SP) This course deals with the ethical, environmental, legal, economic, and social implications of society's treatment of the poor, the disenfranchised, and minorities who live in the less desirable, deteriorating neighborhoods, communities, and niches of our country. The class integrates science with philosophy, politics, economics, policy, and law, drawing on award-winning films, current news, and case studies.

GEOS4690L Environmental Justice Laboratory (SP)

GEOS4733 GPS Geodesy in Geoscience (SP, Even years) Applications of GPS geodesy in geosciences are presented with emphasis on case studies of on-going research projects such as seismic and volcanic hazard. Statistical procedures and factors affecting data quality will be discussed. Analysis will focus on archived data, on-line data from GPS research networks, and data collected by students. Lecture 2 hours, laboratory 2 hours per week. Prerequisite: GEOL 1113.

GEOS4730L GPS Geodesy in Geoscience Laboratory (SP, Even years)

GEOS5053 Quarternary Environments (FA) An interdisciplinary study of the Quarternary Period, including dating methods, deposits, soils, climates, tectonics, and human adaptation. Lecture 2 hours, laboratory 2 hours per week.(Same as ANTH 5053, ENDY 5053, GEOG 5053). Prerequisite: graduate standing.

GEOS5853 Stable Isotope Geology (SP) Introduction to principles of isotope fractionation and distribution in geologic environments, isotopic analytical methods, and extraction of isotope samples; application of isotopes in characterization of geologic processes and interaction with hydrologic, surficial, and biologic attenuation, paleothermometry soil, and biogeochemical processes. May be repeated for 3 hours. Prerequisite: GEOL 5063 or GEOL 5263.
