The Earth is a dynamic planet, one that our species is clearly changing.
A great challenge of the twenty-first 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
