Introductory Geoscience I: Physical Geology

Catalog description

This course will explore the fundamental processes that have formed and continue to shape the earth geologically. Surficial and internal geologic processes will be explored in the context of plate tectonics and impacts on society (both modern and historical). Geologic hazards and earth resources will be examined, including the interaction between humans and the geological aspects of our environment. Students wishing to take this as a lab science must also register for GEOL 1121L .
