composition, structure and movement of the atmosphere; primary and secondary circulation; Coriolis effect; air masses, fronts and storms; weather instruments and maps; and data collection and analysis. 3 hours lecture and 240 Keystone College discussion,
Earth Systems: Introduces the Earth system and the forces and processes that shape the present- day global environment. Structured around three major themes: global change, time scales of change, and understanding of the Earth system. Focuses on global-scale human- induced changes (global warming, loss of biodiversity, and ozone depletion) in the context of the long-term evolution and natural variability of the Earth system. Fall, 3 hours lecture and discussion,
with a concentration on our solar system. Emphasis will be on the motions, make-up and properties of the planets, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. Studies telescopes, astronomical instruments, light and the electromagnetic spectrum. Addresses historical development of astronomy as a human endeavor. Fall, 3 hours lecture and discussion, periodic evening observations,
structure and evolution of stars, star systems, structure of galaxies, and theories in cosmology. Telescopes, astronomical instruments, light and the electromagnetic spectrum will also be studied. Astronomy I is not a prerequisite for Astronomy II. Spring, 3-hour lecture and discussion, periodic evening observations,
Studies Earth’s mineral composition, structure, and processes of formation; and the effect of these processes on materials and structures of the earth’s crust. Focuses on plate tectonics, rocks and minerals, glaciation, flowing and ground water, and topographic and geologic maps. Local field trips are required. Spring, 3 hours lecture and discussion,
Studies the flow of energy in developed and underdeveloped countries. Examines present forms of energy sources. Compares the technological feasibility within environmental and economic constraints, of fossil fuel, nuclear, geothermal, wind, tidal, and solar energy sources. Critically reviews the environmental aspects of the utilization of such energy sources. Fall (not offered every year), 3 hours lecture and discussion,
