GEOL 0547 - Integrated Physical Science: Geology
Credits: 3
This course examines current topics in geology, with an emphasis on the application of basic principles of chemistry and physics to those topics. Both conceptual and quantitative approaches to the subject will be explored. Topics will vary, but might include seismology, radioactive dating, paleoclimatology, environmental geochemistry, Earth’s magnetic field, energy resources, the Cambrian explosion, mass extinctions, glaciology, or geomorphology. Students will be expected to complete a graduate-level project, involving preparation of a significant research paper and presentation of their work to the class or their equivalent.
Prerequisites: GEOL 0101 Physical Geology w/Lab; CHEM 0111 General Chemistry II; and PHsc 0117 General Physics II, Lecture-Lab.
