GE 132 Exploring the Earth I: Origin and Systems (Fall: 4)
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 21st century is to maintain the Earth's ability
to support the growing human population. This course discusses the origin
and materials of the Earth and the processes by which it has evolved. It
is designed as a first course for Geology, Geophysics, Geology-Geophysics,
and Geological Sciences majors and provides a background in Earth Sciences
for all majors and minors in the department and core students. The laboratory
(GE133) consists of in-class exercises, analysis of rocks, and a weekend
field trip.
