• GEOL 110 Introduction to Geology & Lab 6 credits

  An introduction to the fundamental and wondrous processes that shape the Earth. We approach learning through outdoor and laboratory problems, which are often complicated and messy, like the planet itself. Topics may include the formation of rocks, minerals, and mountains, the water cycle, plate tectonics, climate change, volcanoes, and earthquakes. One all-day weekend field trip is typically required. No previous outdoor experience or gear is needed.

  Note: Movement between sections is not possible, if sections fill during registration, seats that open are filled from that waitlist first.
