4 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 205Physical and Structural Geology3
Basic concepts of geology with a focus on the three-dimensional distribution of rock units with respect to their deformation mechanism. Topics include the physical and chemical nature of the Earth and, plate tectonics, rock cycling, the measurement of present-day rock geometries, subsurface mapping, the major deformation structures, and the deformation mechanisms. Lecture, field trip and lab.
Basic principles used in the study of sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy. Processes that influence the formation of sediments and sedimentary rocks; the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of sediments and sedimentary rocks; and methodology to build the framework of sedimentary rocks on the basis of depositional process. Effective written and oral communication skills are essential. Lecture and field trip.
Study of the origin, occurrence, movement, accumulation, and exploration of hydrocarbon fuels. A geological understanding of the search for hydrocarbons (oil exploration) and geological foundations for oil production. This course aims at introducing the students to the basics of petroleum geology, a vast field that includes geochemistry of oil and gas, structural geology, sedimentology (basin, rock and sequence stratigraphy), mineralogy, fluid mechanics, volumetric calculations, and so on. Lecture.
