Geomorphic and stratigraphic principles are utilized in the interpretation of geologic history. Laboratory includes work with fossils and geologic maps. Field trips emphasize regional geology. It is intended that this course follow GEO 103, and taken in this way satisfies the sequential laboratory science requirement of the Math-Science curriculum. It also satisfies the requirements of those curricula demanding science or laboratory science courses. Three one-hour lectures or equivalent and one-three hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: GEO 103 or POI.
