GEL - Geology Course Description
Introduces students to the nature and character of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere that make up planet Earth. Students will examine the history of this planet via the study of geological processes (e.g. volcanism, weathering, glaciation, and plate tectonics) responsible for the origin, development, and subsequent modification of the Earth's landscape. This course will also present students with an overview of the development of life through an examination of the fossil record evident within the continually developing geological record.
