| G 200 - Field
Studies: Mount St. Helens Fall term. This class is designed for students currently enrolled in an introductory geology class or who have taken such a course in the past. We visit the Mount St. Helens Visitor Center at Silver Lake, the Toutle Sediment Retention Structure, four outcrops of volcanic rocks, debris flows, and landslides, the famous debris avalanche, and the David Johnston Ridge Visitor Center. |
| G 202 - Geology Spring term. Study of Earth's materials, structures, and the processes that have changed the earth's surface throughout geologic time, in the light of the unifying plate tectonics model. Prerequisites: G 205/7 (concurrent). |
| G 318 - Processes in
the Surface Environment Fall term. Physical processes occurring in the upper crust including tectonic provenances, weathering, mass transport, fluid-sediment transport, depositional environments, stratigraphic sequences, and intrastratal diagenesis. Prerequisites: G 201/204 and G 202/205. |
| G 410/510 - Hillslope
Materials and Processes Winter term. This course covers a wide range of topics in hillslope processes and landforms including sediment budgets, hillslope hydrology, weathering, soil production and transport, mass movements, and landscape evolution modeling. Labs focus on mapping and analyzing hillslope processes with state of the art remote sensing data, collecting field data, and using numerical models. Pre-requisites: G 318 and MTH 251. |
