Course Summary:

Geology is in many ways the most complex of sciences, as a complete understanding of the workings of the earth requires training in mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, and astronomy. The study of the Earth brings mathematics, chemistry and physics alive. It provides the opportunity to test many hypothetical and theoretical principles in the real world as we observe chemical reactions in rocks, minerals, water and atmosphere, and physical reactions in earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions.

Learning Objective:

By the end of this course, students will learn the Earth is a product (a by-product, really) of star formation, and thus requires an understanding of the workings of the cosmos. And all life on evolved on and is intimately related to planet Earth, and our continued existence requires a complete understanding of how the earth works, and how we can continue to utilize the resources on the planet without destroying the ecosystem that we are part of.
