Labs illustrate lecture materials and the techniques used by geologists.
Two field trips. Labs utilize fossils, rock samples, maps and field trips to illustrate techniques used by historical geologists. Gold, diamonds, water, oil, building materials - all of our material resources ultimately are derived from the earth. This course will examine the origin and geologic occurrence of these materials, and discuss the environ-mental implications of their utilization. Emphasis will be on the origin and prediction of such hazards as well as ways to minimize their effects.
