Extractions: The Geology Department serves students desiring a major or minor in geology. We offer a basic curriculum of upper-level courses which, along with supporting coursework in other sciences and mathematics, prepare our graduates for entry-level occupations in government and industry, or for graduate-level education at most institutions in the country. Our curriculum also prepares students who choose careers in earth science teaching. In concert with the Biology and Politics departments, we administer an Environmental Studies Program and offer Environmental Geology, Paleoecology, and Climate Change which are important components of this program. These, along with other courses taken in the natural and social sciences and the humanities, meet the varied needs of the three concentrations comprised by this multidisciplinary program.

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.

http://www.centenary.edu/geology

Extractions: Centenary Geology Departmental Mission 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.

Geology Museum "Whatever the subject may be, the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ may be elaborated upon without fear of anyone's objecting, and the teacher can be free to express his honest conviction regarding it, whether that subject be in geology, the history of the world, the millions of years that it took to prepare the physical world, whether it be in engineering, literature, art—any principles of the gospel may be briefly or extensively touched upon for the anchoring of the student who is seeking to know the truth." Links of Interest (Off-site) Welcome to the Brigham Young University-Idaho Department of Geology The unique location of BYU-Idaho offers an exceptional opportunity to study geology in the midst of some of the finest geologic settings in the world, with examples of essentially all major geology settings in close proximity. We are the closest major academic institution to the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Local and regional field trips to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, Snake River Plain volcanic and hydrologic features, Hebgen Lake and Borah Peak earthquake localities, the Grand Canyon, and many other locations throughout the western United States provide for more effective learning, enhance student understanding of geologic processes, and better prepare students for graduate school and their future professions.

Extractions: upper terrace Ancient coral reef sediments that have been raised above sea level by vertical movements of the earth's crust underlie Navassa. 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.

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. 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

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).

Extractions: 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)

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: 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: Why study geology?
