Traces the history of the Earth since its inception 4.6 billion years ago. Prereq., GEO 101N and GEO 102N or GEO 103N and GEO 104N. Experimental offerings of visiting professors, experimental offerings of new courses, or one-time offerings of current topics. Experimental offerings of visiting professors, experimental offerings of new courses, or one?time offerings of current topics. This course introduces the scientific context and latest research on natural hazards and disasters, including storms, flood, drought, mass wasting (landslides and avalanches), earthquakes and tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires. Gen Ed Attributes: Natural Science Lab Course (N) Includes laboratory experience with fossils. The evolution of plants, invertebrates and vertebrate animals, highlighting major events in the evolution of life on Earth. This course introduces oceanography, including the origin of water and ocean basins marine resources atmospheric circulation air-sea interaction ocean-climate feedback currents, tides, and coastal processes marine ecology and use and misuse of the oceans. The oceans are geographically, environmentally, culturally, and economically critical to society. Nearly 40% of the world's population lives within 100 kilometers of the coast. Interactions between the atmosphere and the sea moderate and control our climate. The ocean covers 70% of the globe, and yet vast regions remain unexplored. A series of laboratory exercises designed around the investigation of environmental geology problems, including natural hazards, water and air pollution, energy, water, and soil resources, flooding, coastal erosion, and climate. GEO 104N - Introduction to Environmental Geology Laboratory. General principles of environmental geology, including the spatial and temporal frameworks involved, Earth's materials (minerals, rocks, water, air), natural hazards, water and air pollution, energy, water, and soil resources, flooding, coastal erosion, and climate. GEO 103N - Introduction to Environmental Geology. Intended to provide laboratory experience primarily with GEO 101N, but can be taken with or following any of the other freshman GEO courses listed above. Familiarization with common minerals, rocks, land forms, and structures. A series of laboratory and field experiences designed around basic geologic processes and materials. GEO 102N - Introduction to Physical Geology Lab. Gen Ed Attributes: Natural Science Course (N) General geology including the work of wind, flowing water, glacial ice, gravity, earthquakes, volcanoes and plate tectonics in shaping the earth. GEO 101N - Introduction to Physical Geology.
