Corequisite:
GE 133 Lab
Satisfies Natural Science Core Requirement
The Earth is a dynamic planet, one that our species is clearly changing.
A great challenge of the twenty-first century will be to maintain the Earth's
ability to support the ever-growing human population. To do this, an understanding
of the Earth and its systems is necessary. This course discusses the origin
and materials of the Earth and the geological processes by which it has
evolved. This course is designed as a first course for majors and minors
in the Department of Geology and Geophysics and minors in Environmental
Studies, as well as core students interested in exploring earth processes.
