GEOL 3001 - Mineralogy I (4 credits)
Prerequisites: GEOL 1040 and CHEM 1110 or permission of the instructor. Mineralogy is the study of minerals through their crystal structure and morphology, and their optical properties. Students will learn to identify the major rock forming and accessory minerals, their environments of formation, and their common associations. Three lecture, two laboratory sessions per week. (fall) Honors students will select and research four different mineral groups through the course of the semester. The student will submit an individual report on each mineral group which includes its chemistry, structure, formation, associations, distribution, economic importance, and uses. One report will be orally presented by the student to class members in the mineralogy course.

GEOL 4120 - Petrography (4 credits)
Prerequisites: GEOL 3001 or permission of instructor. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are examined both in hand specimen and in thin section. The student learns to recognize component minerals and other important characteristics and to apply principles of rock classification and identification. Three lecture, two laboratory sessions per week. (spring) Honors students will collect and prepare a sequence of rocks, to be mutually agreed on by both the student and the instructor, which can be added to the Geology teaching collection. The project will include collection and description of rock hand samples, preparation of thin-sections, and a written report of both.

GEOL 4540 - Sedimentation-Stratigraphy (4 credits)
Prerequisites: GEOL 3001 or permission of instructor. The first part of the semester is devoted to the origin, classification, and interpretation of sediments and modern sedimentary environments. The second part is devoted to the recognition of these environments in the geologic record through stratigraphic analysis. The latter includes principles of correlation, stratigraphic paleontology, compilation of stratigraphic maps, and interpretation of the geologic column. Three lecture, two laboratory sessions per week. (fall, even years; spring, odd years) Honors students will be expected to choose a rock section in the region and measure and describe it in detail. The choice of section must be mutually agreed upon by the student and the instructor. The student will submit a detailed description and stratigraphic column of the section as a final report. The student may also choose to carry out a sedimentary analysis on an exposed rock section, a stream deposit, or soil horizon to be mutually agreed upon by the instructor and the student. Analyses will include petrographic description of sediments and grain size analysis of representative sediment/soil samples all to be presented in an end-of-semester report.
