Watch this video to learn how: No lab materials are required for purchase. ![]() For most of the online courses, the labs are completed within D2L and are based on maps and data (both image-based data and numerical data). You can take GEOL1405 (Environmental Geology), GEOL 1445 (Oceanography) or GEOL1447 (Meteorology) without taking GEOL1403 (Physical Geology) or GEOL1404 (Historical Geology).Īll of these classes include a lab. Transfer Institutions for Geology StudentsĪre you curious about our Geology courses but are not sure which one is right for you? Watch the short videos below to learn about a specifc course. Don't let the course numbers fool you. Click on one of the links below to jump to a particular topic: They are acceptable for associate degree programs and are transferable to four-year institutions to fulfill science requirements.Įxperienced, highly-qualified faculty provide Geology instruction in 100% online and face-to-face formats. These courses are offered both online and in-person. Courses (except Historical Geology) can be taken in any order. These courses are suitable for geology majors and non-majors. As of Spring 2021, a stream gauge and weather station have been added for students to learn about reading and interpreting live data.Ĭourses include Physical Geology (GEOL1403), Historical Geology (GEOL1404), Environmental Geology (GEOL1405), Oceanography (GEOL1445), and Meteorology (GEOL1447). A 30-boulder Rock Garden spread across the campus has been added so that students get to go outside and map like actual geologists. The department also has two Augmented Reality Sandboxes and a Stream Table. ![]() Our three-story geology rock wall makes our classes highly interactive and engaging. Geology students gain a greater appreciation of the Earth through the study of the physical forces that shape the Earth, the history of the Earth through the study of environments, the development of life, and the succession of geological events. While you are here, please read the diversity statement from Furman’s STEM departments.The Lone Star College-University Park Geology Department explores the theory of geologic processes that shape the Earth and all its landforms. Read the complete diversity statement here! To further this resolve, we are actively reviewing and making changes to our curricula and pedagogical practices, as well as the general culture of our department in an effort to be anti-racist, just, equitable, and accessible. We would like to explicitly and publicly affirm that we are striving to become an anti-racist academic department. We condemn any form of racism and inequity, including unintentional or unconscious, within the academic and social structure of our department and our institution. The faculty and staff in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Sustainability Sciences stand with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color against systemic racism and social injustice. We’ll provide you with the theoretical and practical knowledge to understand the basis of the Earth’s environmental and geological processes and their inextricable link to today’s social challenges. Our courses and undergraduate research programs are engaging, interdisciplinary, and include field-based experiences. We offer degrees in Earth and Environmental Sciences, as well as one of the nation’s first Sustainability Science degrees at a liberal arts institution. Our department takes a holistic, systems-based approach to seek solutions to this challenge and examines the full range of geological, environmental, and sustainability issues. ![]() That is the quintessential challenge of the 21st century and lies at the heart of Furman’s Department of Earth, Environmental, and Sustainability Sciences. How do we achieve an environmentally safe and socially just space for humanity in a world of increasingly limited natural resources?
