GEOL 2020 - Scientific Methods in Earth Science

(4 credits)

Prerequisites: Prerequisite: GEOL 1040 or permission of instructor Prerequisite: GEOL 1040 or permission of instructor. The ultimate goal of this class is to learn fundamental scientific methods used in Earth Sciences. Students will learn applications of mathematics in geology. Fundamental theories and principles on the physics and chemistry of important geological processes will be introduced and studied using scientific methods learned from each class. This course aims to improve students’ knowledge and skills of scientific approaches involved in Earth Sciences. After successfully completing this course, students will be better prepared for advanced level geology courses requiring college level mathematics, chemistry, and physics in the Earth Sciences.
