• Courses
Offered:
-
AGLY 101
Physical Geology- This course will illustrate the
methods and enterprise of science as they have been
applied to interpret the earth. The technical
subject matter will be concerned as much with natural
processes as with their products--the minerals, rocks,
fossils, structure and surface forms of the earth.
The course will emphasize the interplay between
hypothesis, experiment and observable fact that
characterizes productive physical science.
-
AGLY 102
Historical Geology - The practice of geology as a
historical science with emphasis on the methods of
analysis, nature of the record and guiding philosophy
that have allowed geologists to decipher the history
of the earth.
-
AGLY 331
Structural Geology - Deformation of the earth's
stress, strain, elastic behavior, brittle and ductile
deformation, geology and mechanics of simple geologic
structures, selected orogenic belts.
-
AGLY 431
Southern Appalachian Geology - The
stratigraphic, structural, magmatic, and metamorphic
features of the Southern Appalachian origin, studied
through the readings in the literature and outcrop
observation. Requires one weekend field trip
and a five day field trip over Spring Break.
Special fee.
