  • GEO 5150: Fluvial Geomorphology

    3.00 Credits
    Utah State University

    This course introduces fluvial geomorphology through the reading of landscapes and riverscapes. Students learn to appreciate riverscape diversity, in which distinctive suites of physical and biotic processes (behavior) help shape landscape form and character. Weekend field trips are required. Additional coursework is required for those enrolled in the graduate-level course. Cross-listed as: GEO 6150 and WATS 5150/WATS 6150.

  • GEO 5420: Ore Deposits

    3.00 Credits
    Utah State University

    This course is designed as an introduction to ore deposits and ore-forming processes. The chief objectives are (1) a basic understanding of how ore deposits form, (2) to learn how ore deposits are classified, and (3) to understand the origins of different types of ore deposits. The primary focus is on metallic mineral deposits, but some of the more important non-metallic deposits will also be covered, excluding hydrocarbons. Graduate students will write an additional research proposal. Prerequisites: GEO 2800; GEO 4500 recommended Also Taught As: GEO 6420
