This course will emphasize the geology of earth's natural hazards including earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, landslides, global warming and ozone depletion. Students will learn how geologic processes can directly affect people, property and human made structures. Procedures to mitigate such hazards will be explored. In addition to earth's natural hazards, some other important concepts to be addressed include population growth pressures on natural resources, uniformitarianism and geology as a foundation to understanding our environment. Course entails three hours of lecture per week and four 3-5 hour mandatory laboratory exercises per semester.

Study of the physical processes and dynamic systems that shape Earth. Topics include the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere, and also the interconnectedness of these systems with human society. Emphasis is placed upon evaluating scientific evidence and associating that evidence with scientific hypothesis. Four laboratory experiences required.
