  • EXPH 4936 - British Studies-Exercise Medicine: An Examination of Practices

    6 (6-0)

    Prerequisite(s): EXPH 1904 

    To develop an appreciation and recognition of the practical skills required for utilizing Exercise Medicine as a preventative and/or therapeutic modality in health care.  This course will allow students to investigate preventative health care through exercise programming in the United Kingdom.  Healthcare professionals in both the UK and the US are urged to prescribe “Exercise Medicine”.  Thus, Exercise Physiologists are primed to play a key role in the development of exercise prescriptions for the prevention and treatment of chronic disease as well as general fitness and sport performance.  Students will determine the level of exercise physiological adaptation as a medical treatment for prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.

  • GEOS 3044 - Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

    4 (2-4)

    This course will focus on developing spatial science skills using ESRI ArcGIS Desktop software. The course will introduce students to the concepts of spatial data analysis and spatial representations of environmental data. Students will learn the basic functions of a GIS and the specific operating procedure of ArcGIS. Students will learn to apply their functional knowledge of GIS to analyze spatial data that concerns distributions of anthropogenic, hydrologic, geomorphological, climatological, biological, geological environmental factors. Specific examples include, but are not limited to watershed boundaries, river drainage patterns, landcover and landcover change, species distributions, sediment distributions, geophysical data, elevation data, and precipitation gradients.

  • GEOS 3533 - Solid Earth and Exploration Geophysics

    3 (3-1)

    Prerequisite(s): GEOS 1134  and either PHYS 1244  or 2644 ; or consent of instructor.

    This course provides a thorough introduction to solid Earth geophysics and exploration geophysics. Includes the theory and application of various geophysical methods including seismic, gravity, electrical, and magnetic methods to understanding the shallow and deep structure of the Earth and integration of geophysical data with laboratory data including high pressure and high temperature mineralogical studies. The practical application of geophysical techniques to oil and gas exploration, mineral deposit exploration, and environmental assessment are also presented. Laboratory sessions focus on data acquisition planning, processing, and particularly on practical interpretation of geophysical data for resource and environmental assessment. Course may include a half or full day field trip to gather a geophysical data set for processing and interpretation.

  • GEOS 4533 - Introduction to Ore Deposits and Energy Resources

    3 (2-2)

    Prerequisite(s): GEOS 3234  and either CHEM 1143  or 1243  or approval of the instructor.

    This course provides a thorough introduction to the main sub-fields of economic geology: metallic and non-metallic ore deposits, petroleum geology, coal geology, and building materials geology.  Specific types of metallic and non-metallic ore deposits covered include porphyry-type copper deposits, hydrothermal gold, and silver deposits, massive sulfide copper, zinc, and silver deposits, Mississippi Valley type lead and zinc deposits, sedimentary iron deposits, weathering-related aluminum and nickel deposits, gold, diamond, and other heavy mineral placer deposits, phosphate, and evaporate-mineral deposits.  The course will cover the various tectonics and the spatial and temporal occurrence of metallic and non-metallic ore deposits.  Practical aspects of mining, mining economics, and ore deposit exploration and evaluation are also included.  The course will provide an introduction to the formation of petroleum reservoirs and their exploitation, the formation of coal deposits and their exploitation, and the geology and exploitation of building materials such as sand, gravel, and quarried stone.

  • GEOS 4734 - Hydrology

    4 (3-2)

    Prerequisite(s): GEOS 1134 , or consent of the instructor.

    This class will introduce upper level earth and environmental science students to the study of hydrologic science.  This course will provide a comprehensive treatment of modern conceptual and methodological approaches to answering hydrologic questions.  The course combines (1) a qualitative, conceptual understanding of hydrologic processes; (2) an introduction to the quantitative representation of those processes; and (3) an understanding of approaches to hydrologic measurements and the uncertainties involved in those measurements.  This course will cover the history and general scope of hydrologic science, basic hydrologic concepts and principles, the global hydrologic cycle, and individual components of the hydrologic cycle.  This class will also cover water resource management.

  • GERM 3133 - Contemporary German Culture

    3 (3-0)

    Germany is Europe’s largest and most densely populated country. Since 1989 it has gone through fundamental transformations. Its borders have changed, its geopolitical significance has changed, its population has changed. It has become the motor of the European Union. It has gone from being one of the closest allies of the United States to one of its chief critics. Its new capital Berlin has become the cultural capital of the 21st century. It is a place of daring experiments and reactionary violence. It is a place of fascinating contradictions that present many challenges. This course will offer students an introduction to and overview of this dynamic country on the move. Through introductory lectures and class discussions, we will explore a variety of issues: e.g., the cost of unification, the Nazi legacy, post-communism, immigration, citizenship, the European Union, Old Europe, managing capitalism, and the role of gender and sexual minorities in Germany today. The language of instruction and all class materials are in English.
