EarthHistory:Life,ClimateEnvir

This course covers two important aspects of historical geology. The first half of the course will cover fundamental principles and concepts in geosciences needed to reconstruct and interpret Earth's history, including the nature of Earth materials and Earth structure, paleontology and the evolution of life, plate tectonics, major depositional environments and the sedimentary record, the role of sea level, the climate system and global climate change, relative dating and geologic time, and principles of stratigraphy and correlation.

Skills & Methods/Earth History

A required lab course for Geology and Earth Systems majors. This laboratory course is intended to be complementary with the content provided in Geology 394LI-Earth History: Life, Climate and Environment; co-registration with Geology 394LI is expected. It is designed to give Geology majors and minors, Earth Systems majors and Environmental Science majors valuable hands-on learning experiences with sedimentary rocks, stratigraphy, and paleontology.
