Sedimentology

Basic principles governing the erosion, transport, and deposition of sediments, with applications for understanding both modern sedimentary environments and preserved sedimentary deposits. Prerequisite: one year of geology; introductory calculus course recommended.

Climatology

Fundamentals of the earth/atmosphere energy balance, the hydrologic cycle, atmospheric motion, and the general circulation of the atmosphere. Regional and local climates. How climate affects people's activities and how people influence climate. Climate change, its causes, and its effects. Prerequisite: introductory course in weather and climate (e.g., GEO-SCI 100 or ASTRON 105).

Geological Mapping

With lab. Mapping and interpretation of geologic relationships in the field. Preparation of geologic maps and interpretive cross-sections. Four or five mapping projects conducted jointly by the faculty and students. Weekend field trips. Prerequisite: GEO-SCI 231.
