Geology Club DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY Our department offers the only integrated program in the region that applies environmental issues, ethics and methods to sustainable mineral and energy resource development. What we do Geology is the comprehensive study of the solid Earth, atmosphere, ocean, other planets, and the fossil record of life. It also encompasses the study of the effects of human activities on the Earth's environment and the availability and extraction of natural resources. Earth science is interdisciplinary, and the study of geology frequently employs tools, concepts, and theories from mathematics and the other natural sciences, including chemistry, biology, and physics. Geologists work to solve problems of local and global perspectives related to all Earth systems. The study of minerals, rocks, and fossils continues to be an essential and exciting component of a geologist's training.

70. Geology Department The Bachelor of Science degree gives a comprehensive introduction to geology for those students who want to pursue careers in geology. http://www.centenary.edu/geology

Centenary Geology Departmental Mission To provide a focal point for studies of the earth and the environment at Centenary College To promote the study of the earth and our physical environment as a fundamental part of a liberal education To provide a background in the earth sciences for students not majoring in geology who need earth-awareness in the chosen professions To provide a systematic understanding for the bachelor's degree candidate seeking a career as a professional geologist Degrees Offered The department offers course work leading to both the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science degrees in Geology. The Bachelor of Arts degree provides a solid foundation in the earth sciences for students not interested in being as a professional geologist. Careers for which the B.A. degree might be appropriate are secondary education, environmental law, earth science related marketing, regional and urban planning, and even some types of outdoor recreation such as park service work. The Bachelor of Science degree gives a comprehensive introduction to geology for those students who want to pursue careers in geology. For most people wanting to be professional geologists, it is necessary to earn the master's degree. Recent graduates have completed graduate degrees at the University of Texas, the University of Arkansas, Washington State University, and Auburn University. Our graduates are working with independent petroleum companies (both large and small) and various environmental firms and governmental agencies.

Navassa may have formed as a small coral atoll, but at the close of the Miocene Period about 5 million years ago, these reefs began to emerge. Emergence resulted in the alteration of calcium carbonate sediments (aragonite) to calcium-magnesium carbonate rock (dolomite), the formation of a terrace around the island, and the beginnings of chemical weathering and cave formation. oolitic phosphate About two million years ago phosphate-rich sediment was deposited on the island, perhaps guano that was greatly altered to form the mineral phosphate deposit now found on the surface. The oolitic phosphate forms a thin veneer overlying and filling karst holes in the dolomite.

The booklet, which is also online , highlights some of the people and discoveries that advanced the development of the theory and traces its progress since its proposal. Although the general idea of plate tectonics is now widely accepted, many aspects still continue to confound and challenge scientists. The earth science revolution launched by the theory of plate tectonics is not finished. Product ID Number 16398 This Dynamic Planet This map shows the Earth's physiographic features, the current movements of its major tectonic plates, and the locations of its volcanoes, earthquakes, and impact craters. The use of color and shaded relief helps the reader to identify significant features of the land surface and the ocean floor. Over 1,500 volcanoes active during the past 10,000 years are plotted on the map in four age categories. The locations (epicenters) of over 24,000 earthquakes, largely from 1960 through 2004, are plotted in three magnitude categories and in two depth ranges. The map is intended as a teaching aid for classroom use and as a general reference for research. It was published in 2006. Map scale is 1:30,000,000, is printed on both

document.adoffset = 0; Personal Finance Working Your Degree December 15, 2000: 7:16 a.m. ET Geology majors are increasingly in demand as environmental consultants by Staff Writer Shelly K. Schwartz NEW YORK (CNNfn) - There's a common thread that runs through Jason Hanson's tapestry of work experience. And according to the 23-year-old graduate from the University of Wisconsin, it is no accident. "All of my summer jobs during school were outside, including the federal Forest Service, the U.S. Park Service, construction and landscaping," he said. "I knew I wanted to be outside instead of being stuck behind a desk all the time. That was important to me." So important, in fact, that Hanson opted for a bachelor's degree in geology, knowing it was one of the few majors that afforded him the opportunity to get out into nature and escape from his seat often enough to break up his day. Now a staff geologist with Pioneer Environmental in Chicago, Hanson estimates he spends roughly 50 percent of his workweek out in the field. "I help our project managers with their field work and do environmental site assessments," he said. "I also write reports."

79. Geology Of North Coastal California The combination of weak bedrock geology, an oversteepened landscape and high rainfall make for extremely high erosion risk (Judson and Ritter, 1964). http://www.krisweb.com/hydrol/geology.htm

Bibliography Home Geology of North Coastal California Geology and River Overviews Shasta River Trinity River Shasta River Basin Geology Trinity River Basin Geology ... Central Valley Project Note Geologic information, electronic maps and models within KRIS projects are meant to provide background information only and not as a decision making tool. California requires that licensed geologists be involved directly in decisions related to geologic conditions (see requirement ). Endorsement of the contents of this page by the California Geologic Survey is not implied. Northwestern California has been shaped by the forces of plate tectonics. This process causes plates of the Earth's crust to collide, resulting in uplifting of the land, great earthquakes and major geologic instability (Carver and Burke, 1987; Hardin, 1997)). Until plate tectonics were discovered in the 1970's, the varied assemblage of rock types in the Coast Range was a puzzle to geologists but it has now been recognized that the rocks are remnants of vast areas of the sea floor and fragments of the continental margin (Hardin, 1997). This complex formation was broadly categorized as the Franciscan formation but several distinct terrains are now recognized (see quote from Hardin, 1997)

Registrar About geology at St. Norbert College Geology is a field-based science that integrates the principles of chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics in the study of Earth processes and history. Geology emphasizes the central concepts of time, space and scale in the study of planet Earth from the perspective of a unified Earth System (the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere). Geologists study diverse topics such as the following: Volcanic eruptions Earthquakes Glaciers Floods Groundwater flow Dinosaur evolution In recent years, detailed knowledge of the geologic history, resources and processes of the Earth has become vital to addressing environmental issues. Geologists are increasingly in demand by state and federal agencies and private industry to study and evaluate the following: Geologic hazards Natural resources (oil and natural gas) Environmental issues (groundwater supply and contamination) Why study geology?
