GLG 1211 Historical Geology Laboratory

Rates of change, age dating, fossils, depositional environments, stratigraphy, correlation, facies, and interpretation of geologic maps. Laboratory must be taken concurrently with Historical Geology.

Prerequisites: GLG 1101 and GLG 1111

Course Outcomes

• Apply the use of tools/equipment, prerequisite knowledge/skills and follow procedure in order to correctly: 1) identify paleoenvironments and fossils and 2) interpret geologic maps. Be able to follow new procedures and correctly use tools to: 1) calculate rates of change and rock/event ages and 2) conduct stratigraphic, facies and correlative analyses.
• Demonstrate the proper and safe use of tools/equipment and apply their use in new situations; be able to follow directions; be able to recall/recognize which tools/processes should be used in a given situation.
• 1) adapt and function productively in a diverse group peers; 2) improve ability to respect and combine ideas from differing viewpoints; 3) improve group listening/communication skills; 4) ensure full involvement by all group members. Work collaboratively as 'real-world' scientists in small group settings.
