Topics will include the origin of life, evolutionary processes, the expansion of biodiversity, the radiation of organisms in the oceans, the conquest of land, mass extinctions, dinosaurs, and the rise of humans. Various hypotheses concerning the history of the biosphere will be tested using data collected in lab and on field trips. Prerequisite: none. This course is typically offered every year in the fall. This course fulfills the Div. III lab-science and QR distribution requirements. 102. Geology of National Parks 103. Planet Earth A study of plate tectonics with emphasis on ancient and modern geological processes associated with mountain building. The course builds knowledge through field and classroom studies of Appalachian geology, and by comparison of the Appalachians with active mountain belts in South America, Indonesia, and Asia. The course also develops a geologic understanding of the seismic and volcanic hazards associated with mountain building. The overall aim of the course is to illustrate the historical, predictive, and practical aspects of geologic principles and reasoning in scientific and societal contexts. Prerequisite: none.

In addition, the workshop welcomes presentation of research results from related fields such as the hydrodynamics of estuaries, coastal waters and enclosed or semi-enclosed seas. Of particular interest is interdisciplinary work linking physical measurements to biological, chemical and geological processes. Since it was first convened in Kastanienbaum near Lucerne, the PPNW workshop series has followed a succesful model of a relatively informal gathering in single sessions where 50% of the time is assigned to presentations and 50% to discussion.
