GSCI 200: Environmental Geology
A survey of important geologic concepts relevant to current environmental issues. Emphasis is placed on geologic principles underlying problems related to water resources, pollution, natural hazards, waste disposal, energy and mineral resources, and on the scientific bases for current strategies proposed to limit adverse consequences of our impact on environmental systems. The geologic information available from governmental agencies are used to characterize and demonstrate practical problems for classroom exercises. Although not required, a general survey course in geology, physical geography, or high school earth science would provide an appropriate background.

GSCI 452: Enviro Sedimentation - Lec
The analysis and characterization of clastic sediments in contemporary environments with application to the origin, evolution, transport and depositional processes of sediments and sedimentary rocks. Standard analytical techniques will be used throughout from laboratory experiments and field-based lab experiences. Discussions and activities focused on sediment management and depositional environment impacts from on-going and future climatic and environmental changes is a critical theme. (Regular field trips during lab hours and outside of class hours)

GSCI 491: GSCI Capstone Seminar I
A seminar that focuses on selected topics in the Geological Sciences. As part of this course, students will delve into the literature regarding a selected topic and present their findings in a professional talk and as an extended written abstract. Presentations by faculty and invited speakers as well as discussions will also play a part in this seminar.
