11 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.
A survey of the physical features, processes, and history of the mountains of northern Wyoming. Emphasis on Big Horn Basin and Mountains, Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains, and Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. For the non-geologist; does not fulfill lab science requirement. (3 hrs lec)
Introduction to the rocks, landscapes, and thermal features of the Park. Emphasis placed upon hot springs and geysers, volcanic activity, glaciations, and stream erosion. Material covered during a two-day field trip through the Park. For the non-geologist; does not fulfill lab science requirement. Limited enrollment. (2 hrs lab delivered through 24 clock hours in the field)
Modern concepts of the earth’s physical makeup including materials (minerals and rocks), topography, and crustal structure, as well as processes and forces acting on the earth including continents’ motions, earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, and erosion. Required field trips emphasize local geology. (3 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)
A survey of the physical and biological history of the earth as an evolving system interpreted from the sequence of rocks and fossil remains. Required field trips emphasize local geology and illustrate methods of historical reconstruction. (3 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)
This course is an intensive, hands-on, mountainsite short course on the geology and history of Yellowstone National Park and surrounding areas and is intended primarily for K-12 teachers. (3 hrs lec)
Students acquire a broad understanding of survey of common and economically important rocks and minerals of Northern Wyoming. This course provides an overview of the rock cycle and plate tectonics. For the non-geologist. Optional Saturday field trip. (1 hr lec)
Students will acquire a broad understanding of mountain building, volcanism, and plate tectonics. Examples focus on the geology of the Wyoming Rockies; the origin of Heart Mountain and Absaroka volcanism; and the Yellowstone hot spot. For the non-geologist. Optional Saturday field trip. (1 hr lec)
Students acquire a broad understanding of survey of Wyoming focusing on rock and fossil evidence for how Wyoming’s landscape, geography, and climate have changed through time from early Earth history to the present. For the non-geologist. Optional Saturday field trip. (1 hr lec)
Introduces the Earth system, including the solid Earth, rock associations and geochemical cycles. Completion of GEOL 1100 recommended. (3 hrs lec, 2hrs lab)
Geomorphology is a broad survey of landforms and the processes that modify them, encompassing space and time scales ranging from the instantaneous motion of sand in rivers during floods to the uplift of mountains over millions of years. Studied in depth are the processes, effects, and results of streams, rivers, landslides, weathering, glaciers, deserts, shorelines, oceans, and volcanism. Students will develop critical thinking abilities and problem-solving skills in weekly labs.
Designed to familiarize students with dinosaurs that once inhabited Wyoming and other western states. Explores the paleontological research in and near Wyoming, dinosaur taxonomy, the Mesozoic environment, theories concerning lifestyles and extinction of dinosaurs, and the relationship of dinosaurs to the human race. Field trip required. (2 hrs lec)
