Elementary German

Dialogues, reading selections from print and electronic sources, and grammar exercises for basic communication, a good understanding of the fundamentals of German grammar, and an introduction to the traditions and institutions of the German-speaking countries. For those with no previous training in German.

S-Isotopes/EnvironmentalScienc

Stable and radiogenic isotope series are powerful tools across the spectrum of the environmental sciences. This seminar will address the fundamental and cutting edge literature discussing the analysis and application of isotopes in studies such as: (paleo)climatology, (paleo)ecology, (paleo)oceanography, (paleo)limnmology, microbiology, and hydrogeology.

Environmental Geophysics

Application of seismic, gravity, magnetic, and electrical methods used in geophysical exploration. Field techniques, data compilation, and basic interpretations used to support shallow subsurface studies and environmental or hydrologic programs. Lectures, laboratory and field problems.

ST-Intro Seismology

Advanced undergraduate and graduate course presents a basic study in seismology and the utilization of seismic waves for the study of Earth's interior. It introduces techniques necessary for understanding of elastic wave propagation in layered media. Students are expected to have taken Intro Geoscience classes and have good background in basic physics and mathematics.

Paleoclimatology

Methods used in reconstructing climate before the period of instrumental records and their application in understanding late Quaternary climatic fluctuations. Topics include dating methods, ice core studies, palynology, ocean core studies, terrestrial geological and biological studies, dendroclimatology, and historical climatology.
Prerequisites: Geo-Sci 354 or permission of instructor.
