GEOL 250 - Beaches & Coasts

Next Offered: 2011-2012
Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 4 hours
Attribute: 4NS
Today’s coastlines provide an ideal opportunity to relate oceanographic processes to present landforms and to use these to better understand preserved depositional systems. The natural interplay between process and product also provides a broader context against which we consider pressing environmental problems related to coastal-land use, pollution and global warming. Lectures are coordinated with labs and field trips to modern environments and classic outcrops.
