Search Course Outline

Humans depend on Earth’s mineral and energy resources, but they are finite and their use creates environmental wastes. The course focuses on mineral and rock formation, and how they can be interpreted to understand the natural processes operating in the Earth System. Examines the expanding and changing use of resources and the need for stewardship of Earth for our future.

The formation of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, the minerals they contain, and how they can be used to interpret major Earth Science processes such as crustal evolution, volcanism, mountain building, deformation, and sedimentation.
