Course Description

Analysis and description of the composition, structure, and development of the earth's external and internal features and the geologic processes responsible for their origin and evolution. Examination of the concepts and principles upon which geologic knowledge is based. (A one-day field trip is required, each student can choose either Saturday or Sunday.)

Student Learning Outcomes

• Apply the principles of scientific methodology to evaluate hypotheses on how the earth works as an integrated system.
• Use data and observations to track and predict changes in the Earth system resulting from dynamic Earth Processes.
• Use observations from the crust and lithosphere of the Earth to determine geologic history at hand-sample, outcrop, local, and regional scales.
• Apply scientific methodology and geologic principles to analyze the impact of the Earth system on humanity, from specific natural hazards and the availability, use, and distribution of Earth resources.
