    Description
    Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment in GEOLOGY 002. Previous completion of GEOLOGY 002 with a grade of "C" or better is allowable. This is a supplemental laboratory course for Geology 002, intended to teach the scientific methods of reasoning and to give the student an acquaintance with the fundamental principles of historical geology. Laboratory exercises will examine the history of the earth from its origin to the present as interpreted from the fossil record and radiometric dating techniques. Also included will be the evolutionary study of fossils and study of rock types and ancient landforms. This course will include methods used to determine events in Earth history and reconstruct past environmental conditions. Field trips will be taken. Strongly recommended for the student who is enrolled in or has completed Geology 002.
