With lab. Basic principles of theoretical and practical hydrogeology. Topics include the hydrologic cycle, principles of groundwater flow, groundwater hydraulics, occurrence of groundwater in geologic materials, aquifer analysis, field methods, introduction to groundwater modeling, and chemistry of groundwater. Prerequisite: one year of geology; introductory calculus course recommended.

Modern Earth and Environmental Scientists deal with complex and often very large data sets that are typically not useful or understandable in raw form. Thus, quantitative data analysis skills are highly desired and useful in Earth Science sub-disciplines. This course provides an introduction to processing, visualizing, and interpreting quantitative Earth and Environmental Science data using scientific computing techniques widely used in the Earth Sciences. Computational methods and visualization will be performed using the computing language python.

Physics of the earth and the gravitational, magnetic, electrical, and seismic methods of geophysical exploration. Laboratory problems and computations. Prerequisites: Geo-Sci 321 and 331.

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.

This upper level undergraduate and graduate course discusses governing processes in the coastal zone including sea level change, tides, waves, storms, flooding, estuarine dynamics and dynamic coastal landforms (e.g. beaches, marshes, deltas, etc.). Student are taught common computer coding techniques to analyze modern tide gauge, wave buoy, stream flow, and other instrumental observations from coastal, estuarine and coastal river environments.

Past and present mechanisms of global tectonics, including mountain building, ocean-basin structure, continental drift, mantle processes, structural geology and petrology of Earth's crust, and the tectonic history of selected key regions of the globe. Students interested in this course with a LAB should enroll in GEOSCI 531.

Course taught in French. Readings in the novel of social concern, the novel of personal and aesthetic concern, and the novel concerned with the human condition, tradition, and innovation.
