• GEO 1010: Introduction to Geology PP

  3.00 Credits

  Utah Valley University

  
  Studies planet earth: its materials, structure, dynamics, and surface features. Taken alone it is designed for non-science students who want a broad introduction to earth science and a greater appreciation of their physical surroundings. Taken in conjunction with laboratory exercises in GEO 1015, the class is sufficiently rigorous to articulate as an introductory geology class.

• GEO 1030: Natural Disasters and the Environment PP

  3.00 Credits

  Utah Valley University

  
  Provides a broad introduction to Geology and the Earth Sciences through the lens of natural disasters and environmental interactions. Prepares students to think critically about what constitutes scientific knowledge and how such knowledge is produced and used. Studies the structure, composition, and dynamics of the Earth and how it changes through time. Examines how geologic processes, operating on many temporal scales, can impact humans and ecosystems through disasters related to tectonics (e.g., volcanism and earthquakes), surface processes (e.g., landslides, floods, sinkholes, permafrost melt) and environmental change (e.g., global warming and sea level rise). Builds foundation of knowledge about geology and pairs that with basic analytical skills to evaluate critical issues related to the environment and society.

• GEO 1040: The Dinosaurian World PP

  3.00 Credits

  Utah Valley University

  
  Provides a broad introduction to Geology and the Earth Sciences through the lens of dinosaurs and other life during the Mesozoic Period of Earth's history. Prepares students to think critically about what constitutes scientific knowledge and how such knowledge is produced and used, especially when applied to organisms and ecosystems that no longer exist. Examines how plate tectonic processes and mass extinctions shaped dinosaurian evolution and how knowledge of rocks, minerals, and fossilization allows us to reconstruct ancient ecosystems. Encourages students to work collaboratively in evaluating paleontological data, thinking critically about unknown issues related to dinosaurian evolution, and to devise testable hypotheses to answer complex research questions.

• GEO 1080: Introduction to Oceanography PP

  3.00 Credits

  Utah Valley University

  
  Introduces the origin and development of the oceans, marine geology and its effect on life in the seas. Discusses waves, tides, currents, and their impact on shorelines, the ocean floor, and basins. Examines physical processes as they relate to oceanographic concepts. Includes media as an alternative to the actual oceanic experience. Completers should have a basic knowledge and appreciation of the ocean's impact to the world's ecology.
