GEOS 199 - Dynamic Earth Laboratory

(1 S.H.)

This lab allows students to actively engage in solving geologic problems through hands-on activities and exercises. Examples include observation, testing, and identification of mineral and rock specimens, construction and interpretation of geologic and topographic maps to gain understanding of geologic processes such as plate tectonics, and building basic skills with new technologies important to the geosciences (such as GIS). During each lab, students record observations, analyze findings, and discuss results. Prerequisite or concurrent: Any GEOS course numbered 100-150. Offered every semester.
