CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course deals with the fundamental principles of geology. Topics include mineralogy, rock-forming processes, weathering, erosion, groundwater, glaciating, mass wasting, running water, deserts, shorelines, geologic structures, tectonism, and Earth's interior. The links between geology, engineering and the environment are explored through case studies. Laboratory exercises covering the identification and interpretation on minerals, rocks, landforms (using topographic maps and remote sensing images) and geologic map structures are an important part of the class.
