Buss, Peterson Each of the following courses provides a general survey of the physical and human environment and a more intensive analysis of the particular continent or region. Geography 1 or 101 desirable prerequisite. 105. Latin AmericaGiven in alternate years, 1962-1963. W (5). Buss 107. EuropeGiven in alternate years, 1962-1963. S (5). Buss 109. AsiaGiven in alternate years, 1963-1964. W (5). Staff 111. AfricaGiven in alternate years, 1963-1964. S (5). Staff GEOLOGY Courses of Instruction 1. General GeologyThe earth, its rocks and minerals, its surface and subterranean features, their origin and causes as revealed in land features. Two field trips required. Four lectures and one laboratory period a week. A W S (5). Buss, Peterson 3. Historical GeologyHistory of the earth from theoretical origin to the present as interpreted from the rocks and their fossil contents. North America, particularly Utah and the adjacent areas, is emphasized. Two required field trips provide a valuable supplement to class discussion. Prerequisites: Geology 1 or Geology 11. S (5). Buss, Peterson 5. Rocks and MineralsSight recognition of the important rock forming and other minerals through class discussion and laboratory work and the identification of the common rocks of the earth's crust by mineral content, association and occurrence. Field trips required. Three lectures and one laboratory period a week. A (4). Buss 7. Mineralogy of Rock MineralsFundamentals of crystallography, and the identification, and sight recognition of the more important rock minerals by physical, chemical and blowpipe tests. Prerequisites: Geology 1 or 11 and Chemistry 2 or 25, or permission of instructor. One lecture and two laboratory periods a week. W (3). Buss 8. Mineralogy of Ore MineralsIdentification of important ore minerals. Prerequisite: Geology 7. One lecture and two laboratory periods a week. S (3). Buss 9. PetrologySight recognition of rocks and a study of their classification and occurrence. Two lectures and one laboratory period a week. Prerequisite: Geology 7. S (3) (may not be given). Buss 11. Physical GeologySimilar to Geology 1 but with emphasis on geological features important in engineering and forestry practice. Designed for geology majors, engineering, and forestry students. Credit is not given for both Geology 1 and Geology 11. It is recommended that physics and chemistry be taken previously or concurrently with this course. Field trips required. Three lectures and one laboratory period a week. W S (4). Buss, Peterson 14. Regional GeologyContinuation of Geology 1 or 11 and Geology 3 with emphasis on various regions of the United States, their geological development and correlations. Prerequisite: Geology 3. S (4). (May not be given.) Buss, Peterson 16. Elementary Field GeologyFundamentals of geology as they are observed in Western United States and adjacent areas during the six-weeks' field trip. Su (3 or 4). (May not be given.) Buss 17. Advanced Field Geology Fundamentals of geology applied to an interpretation of geology features visited during a six-weeks' field trip. Prerequisites: Geology 1 and 3. Su (3 or 4). (May not be given.) Buss 25. Geological MappingAn elementary course in mapping geologic phenomena. Two laboratory periods a week. Prerequisites: Geology 1 and 3. S (2). Buss, Peterson 40. Geological LiteratureTo acquaint students with geologic literature. Prerequisites: Geology 1 and 3. AWS (1). Buss, Peterson 105. GeomorphologyLand forms and their origin. S (4). Buss, Peterson 110. Structural GeologyStructural features of the earth and their origin. Prerequisite: Geology 1 or 11. A (4). Buss, Peterson |
