This course covers advanced topics in earth science. This course digs deeper into the environmental impacts of humans on geological processes and the effects of geological processes on humans through lectures, student projects and field excursions.
This course is an introduction to the physical and chemical geologic processes that are active on the surface of the earth. We will use a 'pattern and process' approach integrating description, analysis, and interpretation of landforms, surface patters, sediments, stratigraphy, and soils in order to understand geomorphic processes and how they reflect the evolution of landscape.
Special Topics courses include ad-hoc courses on various selected topics that are not part of the regular curriculum, however they may still fulfill certain curricular requirements. Special topics courses are offered at the discretion of each department and will be published as part of the semester course schedule - view available sections for more information. Questions about special topics classes can be directed to the instructor or department chair.
