Plans and Possibilites |

|
Mineralogy/Earth
Materials
(every other Spring term - to alternate with Historical Geology) |
|||
|
|
this
course may not get enough enrollment due to the prerequisites - |
||
|
|
but
we should try and offer it every other year and see what enrollments
we get |
||
|
Split
Environmental Geology into 2 courses: |
|||
|
|
Env.
Geol: Natural and Alternative Resources, Pollution, etc. |
||
|
|
Env.
Geol: Natural Hazards: Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Floods, etc. |
||
|
|
one
course in the Fall term and the other in the Spring term |
||
| One additional Fall section each of Geo 10 lab and Geo 12 lab -- dependent on student enrollments | |||
