GEOS 4013 - Data Analysis for the Geological Sciences
3 (3-0)
Prerequisite(s): STAT 3573 or the approval of the instructor.
This course focuses on using univariate and multivariate statistics to address geologic problems, and interpreting and understanding data as presented in the scientific literature. Basic concepts in elementary statistics (p-values, distributions, hypothesis testing) will be reviewed with a geologic viewpoint. Advanced topics will be applied to geologic examples, and include matrix algebra, eigenvectors, regression, non-parametric resampling, spatial analysis, ordination methods, and multidimensional scaling. Examples will be taken from various geoscience subfields, and students will apply their understanding to both original projects and previously published work. Analyses will be performed in the “R” software environment, designed for statistical applications.

GEOS 4034 - Petroleum Geology
4 (3-3)
Prerequisite(s): GEOS 1134 , GEOS 3134 , and GEOS 3434 , or consent of the instructor.
An introduction to the geology of petroleum and natural gas. Topics include the origin, occurrence, movement, and accumulation of oil and natural gas and the exploration for and development of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Additional topics include geophysical and geochemical exploration techniques, basin analysis, well site operations, representative exploration and reservoir development case histories, and subsurface geology of CO2 sequestration. Fundamental skills routinely used by petroleum geologists, such as basic well log analysis, well correlation, cross section construction, mapping, and volumetric calculations are the major lab session topics.

GEOS 4134 - Applied Petroleum Geology
4 (3-2)
Prerequisite(s): GEOS 1134 , 3134 , and 3434 ; or GEOS 1134 and PETE 2103 ; or consent of instructor.
Using the reservoir lifecycle as a unifying theme, this course focuses on practical aspects of formation evaluation, reservoir characterization, geological modeling, and dynamic forecasting for oil and gas reservoirs. Major topics are (1) interpretation and integration of reservoir data obtained from well logs, cores, reservoir fluids, and seismic data and (2) building and using geological reservoir models to assess hydrocarbon in place volumes within a probabilistic framework. Additional topics include reservoir engineering concepts and forecasting tools, reserves calculation, the use decision analysis for value of information (VOI) and economic decisions, reservoir development planning, and reservoir monitoring techniques. (Same as PETE 4204 .)

GEOS 4533 - Economic Geology
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.

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.
