EARTHSCI 1300 - Introduction to Geology: 4 hrs Course Files Catalog description: Introduction to the physical environment, emphasizing the materials of the earth and the processes that lead to changes within and on the earth. Lab emphasis: rock and minerals, geologic processes, and landscape development. ENV SCI 6250 - Global Systems: 3 hrs Course Files Catalog description: This class is open to graduate students only. The primary focus is on global-scale understanding of the physical and geological processes that influence and are influenced by the earth's biosphere and hydrosphere. There are lectures on interdisciplinary topics, reviews of refereed articles, class discussions/debates on current literature issues, and guest speakers. The students are given 4 homework assignments, 2 exams, and a semester long project that has to be presented in class.
