Wyoming (1CR) (1L) Topics in the geology of Wyoming; lectures and field trips which illustrate a major facet of Wyoming's natural geological laboratory. Topics have included volcanoes, glaciers, Wyoming gem stones and precious metals, plate tectonics, and the oil and gas business.
Wyoming Field Trip (1CR) (2LB) Lecture in the field to observe first-hand the unique geological features of Wyoming. Concurrently: Optional field trip to be taken concurrently with GEOL 1020.
and Their Geologic Origins (1CR) (1L) This course is designed to acquaint the student with gemstone identification, faceting and the geology which produces these rare specimens.
This is a general interest science course teaching skills needed to cut and polish rocks and gemstones. Students will learn to use various machines to cut, grind, polish, drill, facet, and make thin sections for easier hand sample identification, creating thin sections for microscopes, and improving the aesthetic value of various Wyoming gemstones and rocks.
This lab course consisting of 4 all-day field trips will complement GEOL 1040 (Gemstones) and GEOL 1045 (Lapidary) by letting the students collect their own samples of gemstones and various rocks throughout Wyoming. Jade, opals, sapphires, aquamarines, beryl, tourmaline, iolite, lepidolite, labradorite, and agates are some of the common samples to be collected. Concurrently: Best if taken concurrently with either GEOL 1045 (Lapidary) or GEOL 1040 (Gemstones of Wyoming)
Geology (4CR) (3L, 2LB) [E] A lecture and laboratory survey of the composition and geologic features of the earth and the processes which have formed them.
Geology (4CR) (3L, 2LB) [E] A lecture and laboratory survey of the physical and biological history of the earth as interpreted from the sequence of rocks and fossil remains. Field trips will be included in the spring semester. 1100 recommended.
and Geology Field Work (1CR) Wyoming is one of the richest fossil regions in the world. This course offers the student an opportunity to look for and collect fossils from various field sites near Casper. These sites include fossils of early mammals as well as dinosaurs. All fossil specimens collected are the property of the Tate Geological Museum at Casper College.
Introductory environmental geology course focusing on water and soil both as hazards and as life-sustaining resources; exploring surface processes and climate change over geological and human timescales. Case studies illustrate the environmental tradeoffs of resource use. Cross-listed: (Cross-listed with ENR 1330 )
and Earth's Environment (4CR) (3L, 3LB) Introductory environmental geology course focusing on water and soil both as hazards and as life-sustaining resources; exploring surface processes and climate change over geological and human timescales. Case studies illustrate the environmental tradeoffs of resource use. Cross-listed: (Cross-listed with ENR 1500) GEOL 2000 -
Geology applied to the complete Earth system including Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere and Biosphere, emphasizing rock associations and geochemical cycles on a global scale. All
to Geophysics (4CR) (3L, 2LB) Introduction to the processes and properties of the physical earth. Topics to be covered include: gravity and magnetics, heat flow, seismo- tectonics, earthquakes, global earth structure, electro- magnetism, and seismology. Geochemical Cycles and the Earth System (4CR) GEOL 1100 or GEOL/ENR 1500 or permission from instructor
and Petrography I (5CR) (2L, 3LB) [E] An in-depth introduction to the mineralogy of rock-forming minerals and minerals of economic interest. Lectures and labs will cover the chemical, physical and optical properties of minerals. The class will systematically cover minerals and mineral associations. Great emphasis will be placed on hand sample and microscopic identification of rockforming minerals. Generally offered in the spring semester. Physical Geology or permission from instructor. Concurrently: Concurrent enrollment in GEOL 2020 Introduction to Petrology is required.
to Petrology (2CR) (1L, 2LB) Introduces the study of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks in hand specimens and thin sections. Covers textural and mineralogic classification of rocks and the tectonic environments in which
to Hydrology (3CR) (2L, 2LB) Introduction to Hydrology covers the physical and chemical properties of water on Earth, processes of flow at the surface and in the subsurface, as well as fresh water as a finite global resource. 1100 recommended, or permission of the instructor.
Paleontology (3CR) (3L) [E] A systematic look at the evolution of life forms on Earth from the earliest traces of organic material in Archaen rocks billions of years ago to the great diversity of life we see today. GEOL 2070 - Oceanography (4CR) (3L, 2LB) Deals with the ocean as a major environment of the earth. Includes the physical make-up of the ocean and the ocean as a climate controller and a resource for humans. Future pollution factors will also be discussed.

Field Geology (4CR) (3L, 2LB) [E] General Field Geology teaches students basic concepts of geology, field mapping, and sampling technique. Emphasizes recognition, recording, and interpretation of geologic and paleontologic features in the field. least two other geology classes. GEOL 2100 -
A basic course in stratigraphy and sedimentation which stresses depositional, environmental, and age relationships of sedimentary rock.
Geomorphology is the study of the forces and processes that shape Earth’s surface, and the examination and classification of the resulting landforms. This course covers the basic concepts and terminology of fluvial (stream), glacial, arid (desert), coastal, groundwater, and mass wasting (landslide) environments. Through the use of maps, aerial and satellite imagery, and field and laboratory work, students gain understanding of the complex interaction between the deep earth, the surface environment, and the external forces of weather, climate, and incoming solar energy.
Geology (3CR) (3L) The origin and properties of petroleum reservoirs with methods of exploring for structural and stratigraphic traps by subsurface and surface geologic techniques. Mode of petroleum genesis, preferential, habitat and migration, and accumulation will be discussed in depth. EXTR 1500, or permission of the instructor. 227
