GEO 102Planet Earth
This non-lab science course provides an introduction to the Earth sciences and is intended to meet the science requirement for Business and career curricula students. Concepts in astronomy, geology, oceanography, and meteorology are developed. The course has no prerequisites, but does involve report writing. Students who test into developmental writing or reading courses should not take this course until they have completed such requirements. This course is not open to students who have taken GEO 110- Earth Sciences. 3 cr. 3 Lec. This course fulfills the following SUNY General Education learning outcome: Natural Sciences, or Nat Sci & Sci Re
Environmental Geology is the study of the interrelationships between Earth processes that shape the natural environment and human activities. This non- lab science course covers basic geologic processes, the nature of geological hazards, mineral, energy, and water resource management, pollution and waste management, and environmental law. Emphasizes the application of geological principles in the discussion and evaluation of specific environmental issues. Prerequisite: None. 3 cr. 3 Lec. This course fulfills the following SUNY General Education learning outcome: Natural Sciences, or Nat Sci & Sci Re
GEO 110Earth Sciences is recommended for those planning to teach7
elementary grade levels. Will impact satisfaction of upper-division credits in the specialization; may require additional upper-division work in the specialization in the junior/senior year Courses tailored to the needs of the student, to be chosen in consultation with academic advisor.

“Historical Geology is the study of the major developments in the history of the Earth and its systems - its lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere - from their origin to the present. The course begins by examining fundamental concepts of sedimentary geology, stratigraphy, age dating methods, fossils and organic evolution. Later topics include Earth’s formation and early history, the origin and evolution of life, extinctions, and global environmental change, including climate change. Labs and regional field trips emphasize the rock and fossil evidence of Earth’s changes over time. Pre/corequisites: MTH 098-Fundamentals of Math Literacy or placement into MTH 125- Intermediate Algebra or higher or concurrent enrollment in MTH 095/125 combination, and ENG 099- Basic Composition or placement into ENG 100- College Composition or higher, and successful completion of one of the following: GEO 102- Planet Earth, GEO 105- Environmental Geology, GEO 110- Earth Sciences or GEO 131- Physical Geology. 4 cr. 3 Lec, 3 Lab.
