Petrology

With lab. Genesis of igneous and metamorphic rocks in the earth's crust and upper mantle. Experiment and theory applied to the interpretation of natural rock textures and their origin. Introduction to thermometry and barometry of magmas and rocks. Recognition of rocks and crystallization histories using the polarizing microscope. Prerequisite: GEO-SCI 311.

Methods in Geosciences

Course includes some outdoor lab activities. Understanding and interpreting map-based data including topography and geologic information; using the compass, GPS and other surveying equipment to make maps; quantitative analysis of geoscience datasets; applications to hydrogeologic/environmental problems; describing rock units; measuring and compiling geologic data to produce maps and cross-sections.

History Of The Earth

A required lab course for Geology and Earth Systems majors. This laboratory course is intended to be complementary with the content provided in Geol 394LI-Earth History: Life, Climate and Environment, and typically will be taken during the same semester as Geol 394LI. It is designed to give students valuable hands-on learning experiences with sedimentary rocks, stratigraphy, and paleontology.
