This introductory geology class provides a broad overview of the earth sciences, from planetary evolution to the interplay of geology and climate. The course is a prerequisite for all undergraduate majors who are considering careers in the earth and environmental sciences, while also satisfying science requirements for other undergraduate majors. We will introduce the class with the unifying framework for Earth Science: plate tectonics. Throughout the semester we will look at the physical interactions between different realms on Earth, including the interior (core and mantle), the outer shell (termed lithosphere), oceans and atmosphere. We will explore the dynamic processes operating on Earth and how these processes have been recorded and have varied over the geologic history. During the last third of the semester, we will discuss geologic problems that have a particular relevance to humans, such as energy and mineral resources, water resources, climate and global change. BUILDING: GAVET | ROOM: 310 PREREQUISITES: Students are required to enroll in a lab section and are required to attend one field trip. |

This course will explore the Earth's dynamic climate system through lectures, discussions and computer-based modeling of climate processes. The course is designed to be accessible to all students. We will work toward an understanding of several fundamental and important questions. What are the main factors that determine the Earth's climate? What forces can drive climate to change? What can we learn from climate change in the Earth's distant past, when our planet experienced periods of both extreme cold and warmth? How do we know that our climate is now changing? What can we expect from the Earth's climate in the near future and how would it affect us? BUILDING: B&L | ROOM: 269 PREREQUISITES: None |

Sedimentary rocks contain enormous volumes of water; solid and fluid hydrocarbons, as well as other natural resources. Sediments and sedimentary rocks are very important to our way of life, and they are fascinating in and of themselves.

The purpose of this course is to introduce the aspects of chemistry that are especially applicable to the study of geologic processes. Students will learn about the chemical interactions between the atmosphere, oceans and rocks to develop an appreciation of the complexity, breadth, and scales of Earth-systems chemistry, and a general knowledge of relevant kinetic and thermodynamic (equilibrium)phenomena. Specifically, this course will explore the chemistry of crust- and mantle-derived rocks, but also the chemistry of low temperature fluids (aqueous geochemistry), and moderate-temperature fluid-rock interactions that occur during metamorphism in the crust. Students are expected to have completed university-level general chemistry and Mineralogy/Earth Materials prior to taking this course.

Most introductory courses to chemical oceanography cover a variety of topics that are only related because they are under the broad umbrella of chemical oceanography. Some of these topics include the carbon dioxide and inorganic carbon chemistry, salinity, marine nutrients, dissolved gases and organic constituents. Similarly, most discussions of climate change and chemical oceanography only touch on ocean acidification. This course seeks to provide the same broad prospective to conventional chemical oceanography courses but will interweave the unifying theme of climate change into these numerous and diverse topics.

Topics include the global energy balance, atmospheric thermodynamics, radiative transfer, cloud microphysics, atmospheric dynamics, general circulation, weather systems, surface processes, ocean circulation, and climate variability and forecasting. Students will understand what drives present-day temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns, as well as major modes of natural climate variability including the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon and Ice Age cycles, and extreme weather.
