GEOL 1200 - Historical Geology

Credits: 4
Historical Geology is an introduction to the study of Earth, its origin, and the processes and events that have shaped it. The course covers major geological changes in Earth history in chronological order, and the relationship between geology and the evolution of life on this planet. A significant portion of the lab section of this course will be the identification of fossils from major time periods of Earth’s history in order to demonstrate evolution over time at the macro level. This course will make extensive use of the scientific method and hands-on learning. Local field trips may be required.
