GEOL 143 A-Z - Geological Field AnalysisSemester Hours: 4 s.h.
Summer
Through an integrated lecture and field course, students will investigate the
geology of a specific region of the United States. The goal of the course will
be to create and to provide a handson introduction to geologic field observation
and the methods necessary to collect data. Students investigate the geology of
different regions that are studied on a rotating basis as listed below. Field
reports will be based on observations, measurement, analysis and interpretation
in the subdisciplines of structure, stratigraphy, volcanology, petrology, field
geology, cartography, mineralogy, and geochemistry. Brief mapping exercises will
be undertaken to integrate observations with problem solving and interpretive
analysis. Formal lectures precede the field course. Student PowerPoint presentations
will be based on each individual field report and will end the session (8-10 days
off campus; 4 s.h)
