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.

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.

Subjects covered include geologic time, principles of stratigraphy and correlation, evolution and the fossil record, a review of plate tectonics, eustasy and isotasy, and the geologic evolution of the Earth with emphasis on the geologic history of North America. Prerequisite: introductory geology course, preferably GEOLOGY 101, or one semester of biology.
