Students will compare the physical and chemical conditions that characterize different plate tectonic settings, and apply their understanding to interpret past and present Earth environments.
Students will identify and classify minerals and rocks, and interpret the origin and formation history of a given mineral or rock sample.
Students will interpret the geologic history of a rock, field region or map, based on an analysis of geologic structures and/or laboratory data.
Students will formulate a testable hypothesis based on field and / or laboratory observations, and devise appropriate tests of their hypotheses.
Students will present clear and concise written and oral reviews and reports, discussing geological interpretations and problems.
Students will describe and discuss natural hazards and natural resources in terms of geologic processes and constraints.
Students will use professional ethical standards for reports and publications associated with collaboration, data collection, authorship, and citation of previous results.
Students will solve geologic problems quantitatively using mathematical, chemical, and physical equations and principles.
