This is a field-based laboratory course for geosciences and environmental sciences. The geology, topography, structure, and ecology of the southwestern US will be discussed in class and then observed and investigated in the field. Samples and data collected from study areas may be further analyzed in a lab setting. Students will learn how to perform field techniques, such as orienteering, rock and structure identification, geologic mapping, and sample collecting. These skills are valuable for geology, geography, environmental studies, and geoscience majors. This course includes field trips. Transfer: CSU
