develop an understanding and awareness of our environment, how the environment
can change, and the effects of such change. The course explores the role which
humans play in causing environmental change and the underlying values and ethical
judgments involved in making choices. The course also includes a study of the
structure and function of ecosystems, energy, and the examination of selected
environmental problems. The lab sections will investigate alternative energy,
environmental monitoring, and the influences of human populations on ecosystems.

Emphasis will be on the materials that comprise the earth, the processes that shape
the surface and the forces that are at work that drive these processes and produce
and alter the materials. Through laboratory and classroom exercises the student will
uncover the evidence that geologists use to reconstruct past events in an effort to
better understand, predict and possibly avoid clashes between human activities and
natural geologic processes, such as floods, beach, slope and soil erosion, sea-level
changes and ground-water contamination. Geological hazards such as volcanoes
and earthquakes will be explored and evaluated in the context of Plate Tectonics
Theory. By tracing the historical development of this theory students will gain insight
into the scientific method which is at the core of all scientific disciplines. 3 hours
