Geology (G)

For non-science majors. A lab course introducing geologic principles and concepts; Earth structure, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock environments, volcanic activity, and landforms. Lab requires students to identify ore minerals, rock forming minerals, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.

For non-science majors. An introductory lab course that explores the Earth's systems and surface features. Systems/processes/hazards explored include rivers, mass wasting, glaciers, groundwater, and deserts. Labs focus on geologic and topographic maps and how they are used to understand geologic features and local geology.

For non-science majors. A lab course that examines the geological development of the North American continent through topics such as geologic time, plate tectonics, mountain building earthquakes/faults, and fossils. Examines important events in each geologic era and includes fossil ID, compass use, field techniques and GPS.

An introductory lab course that explores the geology and historic development of Northwest with an emphasis on Oregon geology. Each of Oregon's geologic regions is examined by using basic geologic principles, rock types, hazards and the Northwest's tectonic history.

A lab course that examines the geological processes that create volcanoes and earthquakes and the hazards associated with them. Examines basic geologic features, monitoring techniques, hazards, prediction methods, and future events, using historic episodes of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

For science majors. A lab course introducing geologic principles and concepts; weathering, soils, Earth structure, igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic rocks, volcanic activity, and landforms. Lab requires students to identify ore minerals, rock forming minerals, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.

For science majors. A lab course that explores surface features of the Earth and the systems that form those features. Systems/processes/hazards explored include rivers, mass wasting, glaciers, groundwater and deserts. Topographic/geologic maps are used to understand geologic features and local geology.
