Geology 005A From Mountain to Lake:

Computer Number 90682 The Geology of Vermont

This class, offered through the Living Learning Center, consists of two courses, GEOL 005 in the fall semester for 4 credits (applicable as a laboratory science), and GEOL 096 in the spring semester for 1 credit. In the fall semester, students learn the basic concepts of geology and the principles of plate tectonics as a unifying theory, including demonstrations of how integrating once compartmentalized sub-disciplines can bring new understanding. We use the Lake Champlain Basin as a focal point and natural laboratory. Field activities comprise a major component of the program; lectures introduce scientific principles and information relevant to the fieldwork and discuss scientific methodology. Grades are based upon papers and presentations. The spring semester course is a seminar-type program for 1 credit. Note: This is a residential course.

Requirements satisfied:  Laboratory Science

Meets: Tuesday-Thursday 12:30-1:45 pm, Tuesday lab 1:45-5:00
