- Class Description:
- GEO 1101 is a lecture-only version of GEO 1001, which explores the nature of our planet. The Earth we live on is a far more dynamic place than most people realize. It is constantly, if slowly, changing as major segments of the Earth's surface shift and grind against one another. This slow motion not only produces our world's many active earthquake regions, but over time, is also responsible for the uplift of mountain ranges and the changing shapes of the Earth's continental masses and ocean basins. These global-scale processes directly and indirectly created the environment we live in. Even on a smaller scale, our environment is constantly changing - but on such a long time scale that few people recognize the very dynamic nature of our world. This course will investigate how these global and regional-scale processes not only shape our world but also affect human society. One of the course's primary goals is to provide a better understanding of our planet in the context of current environmental issues and global change. Students will explore how plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes, wind, rivers, and glaciers sculpted our plant's landscape, and discover the many linkages between these processes and human society. GEO 1101 satisfies the environmental theme of the Diversified Core Curriculum's requirements. This course is designed for undergraduate students who are not geology majors and there are no prerequisites. .

- Class Description:
- ESCI 1101 is offered in two different modes of instruction. The on-site classroom mode is simply a lecture-only version of ESCI 1001 and you can refer to my section of ESCI 1001 for a course description. There is also a Non-Term Based Distance Learning version of the class offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. The syllabus for that course should be attached to this description. Both versions of ESCI 1101 satisfy Liberal Education requirements for the Environment Theme.
