Course Description
GEOL-101 is not a prerequisite for GEOL-102. This course is an introduction to the geologic history of the planet Earth and its life forms. Based on the unifying theories of plate tectonics and organic evolution, the course presents the evidence used by geologists to reconstruct Earth's ancient environments and organisms, and establishes connections between Earth's past and present environments. The course may include a one-day weekend field trip, weather permitting.
