    Description
    (No prerequisite.) The study of the evolution, over geologic time, of the land and life forms of the planet Earth as observed in the rock and fossil record. The course examines the dynamic changes in the surface conditions of Earth's environment, and the very alterations that have caused five mass extinctions in the biosphere. Students evaluate the evolution of landscapes by observing them firsthand, in the field.
