Educational Activities
GS 100 - Earth Systems I: Geological Environment (UG 5) Earth Systems approach to Physical and Historical Geology. I will teach a morning section two days a week + lab in ML 100. Expected Textbook is Earth Science (10th) by Tarbuck and Lutgens; Lab Manual TBA.
GS 203 - Geology and the Environment (UG 5) Topics
include: 1) Geologic hazards: earthquakes, floods,
volcanoes, landslides, subsidence, and coastal erosion; 2) Management of
solid, liquid, and nuclear wastes in the geologic environment, 3)
Groundwater and surface water hydrology and water quality, 4) Geology and
land use planning, and 5) Global change, sustainability,
and long-range planning. Dr. L. Thompson and I expect to
co-teach this course in the morning, two days a week + lab. Location
TBA.
During Winter Quarter 2003, I am teaching or co-teaching two courses GS 105 and GS 583
GS 105D - Geology and the National Parks (UG 5) is an introductory course that provides the basics of geology and is similar to and satisfies the same requirements as GS 100. Students with credit for GS 100 can not take GS105 for credit. I teach the WEB version, GS 105D. A regular section of GS 105 is given several times a year by other instructors.
GS 583 - Field Geology for Science Teachers (UG 3) has several
versions. The Bahamas version (GS 583X) meets 4 times in WQ and 2 times
in SpQ, with a 9-day Spring-Break field trip to San Salvador Island.
Registration for 583X is for Winter Quarter. Contact me for details any time
during the year. Field Trip for 2003 is March 20 - March 28.
During Spring Quarter 2003, I will teach GS 550 and co-teach GS 203 and GS 583A.
GS 583 - Field Geology for Science Teachers (UG 3) has several versions. The Appalachian version (GS 583A) meets 4 times in WQ and 2 in SpQ, with a 5-day Spring-Break field trip to North Carolina. Registration is for Spring Quarter. Contact me for details any time during the year. Field Trip for 2003 is March 26 - March 30 (Drs. Pride and Utgard lead field trip).
GS 550 - Geomorphology (UG 5) Study of concepts, techniques, processes, and historical development of geomorphology. Students in the course often include Geology undergraduates, and graduates and undergraduates in Education, Engineering, Natural Resources, and Anthropology among others. Course will meet M and W, 4 - 6 + lab on M or T, in 252 ML. There is a one-day field trip required.
GS 203 - Geology and the Environment (UG 5) Topics include: 1) Geologic hazards: earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, landslides, subsidence, and coastal erosion; 2) Management of solid, liquid, and nuclear wastes in the geologic environment, 3) Groundwater and surface water hydrology and water quality, 4) Geology and land use planning, and 5) Global change, sustainability, and long-range planning. The course meets 2 days per week + a 2-hr lab. Dr. Scott Bair will co-teach this course in the morning, two days a week + lab, in ML.
During Summer Quarter 2003, I expect to co-teach GS 203 5 days /week during the First Term, depending on demand for the course. See description for AQ GS 203. (Expect to co-teach with Dr. Utgard)
