9 courses with the subject GEOL, 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.
GEOL 101Earth Science3
Introduces selected topics in geology, meteorology and astronomy with emphasis on current environmental issues as related to these fields. An entry-level course in earth science. (GE02), (NSCI)
Recommended background: GEOL 101 or high school earth science. General survey course in the basic principles of physical geology with in-depth coverage of selected topics such as streams, glaciers, ground water, weathering, soils, mass wasting, structural deformation, earthquakes and volcanoes. Laboratory exercises focus on rock and mineral identification,
Recommended background: GEOL 101 or high school earth science. General survey of the basic principles of historical geology, focusing on the sequence of events and geologic forces influencing the formation of the earth and the evolution of life forms. Topics include plate tectonics, sedimentation, stratigraphy, evolution, and paleontology. Laboratory exerc
This is an introductory meteorology course designed to explain the principles and processes of weather. Students will study the principles of atmospheric structure and composition, radiation and energy as they relate to the Earth-atmosphere system, air temperature, atmospheric moisture, and air pressure. The course investigates processes that cause a range of weather phenomenon, including fog, clouds, and precipitation. The course will explore wind and pressure systems around the world, as well as middle latitude and tropical weather phenomena such as air masses, cyclones, tornadoes and hurricanes, and climate change and its impact on Earth.

and MATH 099 or equivalent. Provides an overview of alternative energy sources and their ability to meet energy needs. The fundamental concepts of solar, wind, geothermal and other sustainable energy sources will be covered. The availability, economics and environmental impact of these alternative sources will be compared.
