Representative survey of current research across the discipline of modern Geography so as to broaden perspectives and appreciation of Geography's breadth and impact. Emphasis on the discipline's major affinity groups, their notable institutions and individuals, and their impact toward the greater good. Exercises familiarize students with the process of developing a thesis or dissertation proposal, from determining an area of emphasis, identifying a research problem, conducting a literature review, and developing and defending a thesis or dissertation proposal.Prerequisite(s): Graduate standing in geography or consent of instructor.

Directed readings on selected topics, regions or methods in geography.Offered for variable credit, 1-3 credit hours, maximum of 6 credit hours.Prerequisite(s): Consent of instructor.

An exploration of the patterns and impact of population, cultural heritage, and natural resources to build an understanding and experience with Africa. Historic and contemporary relationships between Africa and Western civilization. Key themes include traditions and lifeways, development and change, government and conflict, and people and environment. Same course as GLST 3763.

Theoretical and methodological aspects of geoarchaeology, a discipline that aims at recovering field data for reconstructing environment-society relationships of the past. Key themes include climate change and human-induced land transformation as demonstrated through interdisciplinary research in different geomorphic contexts and cultural groups (hunter gatherers, agriculturalists, and urbanites) from around the world. Meets with GEOG 5063. No credit for students with credit in GEOG 5063.

This course will outline key concepts in geomorphology including how different geological processes have shaped and are shaping the surface of the Earth. Summary of different geomorphological research methods. Discussion on how exogenic processes such water, glacier and wind weathering produce different landscapes. Discussion on how endogenic processes such as volcanism and tectonism contributes to geomorphological changes. Discussion of how geomorphological changes affect the climate. May not be used for degree credit with GEOL 5073.Prerequisite(s): GEOL 1014 or GEOL 1114 or GEOL 1214 or GEOG 1014.
