13 courses with the subject GLG, 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.
Credit(s) 4 An introductory study of minerals, rocks, land forms, and the internal structure of the earth, and the processes by which these develop.
Credit(s) 4 Designed to acquaint students with the earth’s oceans and ocean basins, the course will emphasize an interdisciplinary approach focusing on the following: geologic development of the ocean basins and margins, chemistry of ocean waters, physics of water circulation, ocean/atmospheric interactions, marine biology, and human impact on the oceans. Students are expected to gain a basic knowledge of various ocean environments and ocean dynamics and the interplay of oceans and other earth systems. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites None
Credit(s) 4 An introductory study of meteorology and climate. Topics include structure of the atmosphere, physical components of the atmosphere and their interaction, short-term and long-term factors affecting weather and climate and basic forecasting. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites None
Credit(s) 4 A survey of the physical and ecological development of planet earth as revealed through coupled evidence from rocks and fossil assemblages, interpreted in light of modern theories of plate tectonics. Emphasis will be placed on the physical and biological evolution of North America. Prerequisites GLG 1010
Credit(s) 4 Basic principles of soil classification and formation. Special emphasis on restoration techniques used to remediate highly disturbed lands. Offered alternate years. Prerequisites CHM 1010 / CHM 1011 and GLG 1010
Credit(s) 3 A study of the interaction between geologic processes and human society. Topics include mineral, water, and energy resources, volcanic hazards, earthquakes, landslides, floods, coastal erosion, pollution problems and environmental management. Prerequisites CHM 1010 / CHM 1011 and GLG 1010
Credit(s) 4 An introduction to the classification, occurrence, and origin of rocks and rock-forming minerals, with an emphasis on igneous and metamorphic petrology. Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours (or field work) per week. Offered on alternate years. Prerequisites CHM 1020 / CHM 1021 and GLG 1010
Credit(s) 3 An introduction to the chemical processes affecting the distribution and pathways of chemical compounds in natural waters, both marine and non-marine. Emphasis will be placed on the fundamentals of water-rock interactions and elemental cycles over a broad range of conditions at or near the earth’s surface. Offered alternate years. Prerequisites GLG 3030
Credit(s) 3 An introduction to the geology, genesis, extraction and related environmental issues of metallic and non-metallic mineral resources and fossil fuels. Offered alternate years. Prerequisites GLG 3030
Credit(s) 4 This course is designed to acquaint students with methods by which geologic data are acquired, displayed and analyzed. Topics covered will include basic surveying and geologic mapping, introduction to structural analysis and subsurface correlation, proper soil and water sample collection and remote sensing. Prerequisites GLG 1010 and GLG 3010
Credit(s) 4 The study of water beneath the surface of earth, beneath the water table, in soils, and in geologic formations. Emphasis is placed on analysis of geologic factors related to occurrence, distribution, recovery and use of ground water. Offered alternate years. Prerequisites GLG 3030 , MTH 2040 and PHY 1010 / PHY 1011
Credit(s) 3 This course is designed to provide reinforcement of geological concepts and research techniques to interested students through research projects in the geological sciences. The course may be offered by faculty or, interested students may submit a research proposal to a faculty mentor for approval before registering. Each credit hour earned requires 3 lab or field hours per week. Students may count no more than 3 credit hours toward a major in either Earth Science or Environmental Science.
Credit(s) 1-3 Special Topics in Geology
