ERTH 1090.03
Introduction to Geology II
Earth systems as introduced in Geology I, are explored in greater
detail, with an emphasis on those environmental systems at earth's surface
that are strongly connected to human actions. Topics explored may
include: groundwater, rivers, oceans, and glaciers; energy and mineral
resources; evolution and the fossil record, extinctions, and global change; and fragile environments, including deserts, soils, and slopes. The lab sessions offer students the opportunity to explore these issues in more depth, and provide a strong background to pursue further work in the
natural and environmental sciences. ERTH1090 is recommended for Earth
Sciences majors.
