GEOL& 101 Introduction to Physical Geology • 6 Cr.
Studies the physical processes, both on and beneath the surface, that have over time given the earth its present form. Course format includes field and laboratory study of minerals, rocks, and maps. Fulfills laboratory science course requirement at BC.
GEOL 103 History of Earth • 6 Cr.
Surveys the geologic history of the earth, including the history of life on earth. Students learn to interpret rock and fossil evidence. The course is designed for non-majors includes laboratory work. Fulfills laboratory science course requirement at BC.
GEOL 106 Introduction to Natural Hazards & Disasters • 5 Cr.
Primary focus is on earth and atmospheric hazards that appear rapidly, often without warning. Emphasis placed on the interrelationship among hazards and the role Humans play in, not only enhancing potential disasters, but also how, through education, to minimize future environmental problems. Same as GEOG 106. Either GEOL 106 or GEOG 106 may be taken for credit, not both. Fulfills a natural science course requirement at BC.
