14 courses with the subject GEOG, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
| Lecture This course is designed to provide an introductory experience using global positioning systems (GPS) technology for data collection. Students will gain experience using handheld GPS units, field data collection and mapping.
| Lecture Physical Geography addresses interactions between our air, water, land and living environments. We'll explain how landscapes form and change over time, and how humans interact with their physical surroundings. We'll learn how to interpret maps and MINNESOTA NORTH COLLEGE | 2024-25 CURRICULUM CATALOG satellite images as we study the physical landscapes which both support and challenge our lives. Understanding the range of human responses (political, legal, social, economic, etc.) to changing physical environments is explored in context of ethics and civic responsibility. Overall, we will strive to develop an appreciation for the earth's varied physical geography and how that environment influences human lives. MNTC Goal Area(s): 09, 03
| Lecture Students learn and apply geographic skills in the analysis of selected world regions. The course examines the diversity of cultures, physical patterns, environmental issues and political/economic challenges facing such areas. Emphasis is on analyzing issues at the regional scale and their importance in global context. MNTC Goal Area(s): 08, 05
| Lecture Geographic analysis of the population mosaic. Foster an appreciation for human diversity while examining ethnicity, language, religion, population, economics, politics, health and inequality from a geographic perspective. Students learn to interpret cultural landscapes developed over time from the interrelationships between people and their natural environment MNTC Goal Area(s): 05
| Lecture/Lab Weather and Climate is the study of the atmosphere and its relationship to humans as it benefits and challenges our lives. Topics covered include atmospheric composition, ozone depletion, temperature controls, global wind systems, precipitation patterns, air masses, severe weather, global climates, climate data and climate modeling. MNTC Goal Area(s): 03, 10
| Lecture This is an introductory course and will involve investigations in physical (tides, currents, waves), geologic (ocean formation/physiography, plate tectonics), biological (plant/animal life and ecosystems) and chemical (composition, water P a g e | 74
| Lecture Investigate the science of natural hazards-learn how and why natural hazards occur where they do. A range of topics will be addressed, including earthquakes, volcanic activity, wild fire, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, tsunami, landslides, and drought. Patterns of natural hazard occurrence and their effect on human institutions is a cornerstone of this course. How government agencies, private business, interest groups plan for, mitigate and recover from such events is analyzed. Understanding the range of human responses (i.e. political, legal, social, economic, etc.) is explored in context of ethics and civic responsibility. MNTC Goal Area(s): 03, 09
| Lecture Students learn the principles of remote sensing and digital image processing to provide background for utilizing remotely sensed imagery with GIS software. Methods of image acquisition, photogrammetry, classification, interpretation and accuracy assessment are addressed. Imagery from a variety of passive and active sensors is analyzed.

| Lecture/Lab This course is designed to provide students with the opportunity to initiate, plan, manage, implement and MINNESOTA NORTH COLLEGE | 2024-25 CURRICULUM CATALOG critique a GIS project as a capstone experience. Topics will be chosen and directed by students in consultation with the instructor
Variable credit | Internship Utilization of geographic con4cepts and tools in an on-the-job setting. Alternatively, students identify a geographic project, generate a problem statement, develop a project plan and timeline, and define output products. Students are required to meet on a regular basis with their instructor. Prerequisite(s):
| Lecture This course focuses on concepts and techniques in Cartography, and the design and preparation of maps using GIS software. Ethics, statistical analysis, data measurement levels, classification, conceptual/ cartographic generalization, symbolization/ visualization are addressed through the construction of a variety of quantitative and qualitative thematic maps.
