GEOG 1101 cr-3
Introduction to Geography
Students will examine the nature and diversity of geography, which attempts to describe and to understand human growth, distribution, social-cultural and economic activities and interactions. They will also learn how the physical environment facilitates or constrains these activities and how human activities may, in turn, affect the natural environment, including the atmosphere, soil, and plant and other natural resources.

GEOG 1110 cr-3
Atmospheric Environment
Students will apply basic scientific principles to study the atmosphere, examine weather processes, and identify patterns of climate. They will demonstrate how the flows and transfer of energy and water to and from the Earth's surface are integrated to produce a variety of atmospheric phenomena ranging from microscale weather events, such as convection and cumuloform cloud, to macroscale frontal systems, wind belts and the general circulation.

GEOG 1120 cr-3
Introduction to Earth Science
Students will examine the origin, composition and evolution of the solid Earth through a study of its rocks and minerals, the geologic time scale, and the role of tectonic processes in creating and modifying continents, regulating volcanism and seismic activity. They will also demonstrate how the Earth's surface has been modified by weathering, fluvial (stream), glacial, and slope processes.

GEOG 1130 cr-3
Environment & Technology
Employs an ecological perspective to examine the costs and benefits of a technology which enables man to change the face of the earth and threaten the ecosystem. The human costs e.g. anxiety, "opting out" as well and the dangers of environmental collapse will be emphasized. Some of the topics: The Historical Roots of our Ecological and Technological Crisis; Can Science Save Us? Resources Inventory; Conservation Ethic; Population Dilemmas; Survival in the Global Village-Ecotactics.
