GEOS170A1 - Earth Stories: Interpreting our Dynamic Planet
Course ID
035732
Course Description
In this course, students will learn to apply the perspective of the geoscientist to questions about how and when Earth formed, how it has evolved over time, how those changes are recorded and deciphered in the geologic record, what geological phenomena can tell us about planetary dynamics and geological hazards, how geological processes create change on our planet, and how humans interact with and influence the natural environment. Students will put this perspective into practice via the scientific method, using the tools and methodologies of geoscientists, and working with quantitative information in a variety of ways, such as creating and interpreting data sets and graphs.
