GEOL 240 - Environmental Geology

FC NSMA QFR

4 credits
This course examines recent environmental change and the processes that are responsible. While examples will focus on geological controls, we will also consider biological, chemical and socio-political factors at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. The class will utilize traditional lectures, labs, field trips, discussions and contemporary case studies to better understand linkages of environmental change to increasing exploitation and the conflicts between scientific realities and socio-political perceptions.
Prerequisites & Notes: GEOL 120 or GEOL 124
