Work toward master's thesis in geology.Offered for variable credit, 1-6 credit hours, maximum of 6 credit hours.Prerequisite(s): Approval of graduate committee.

Application of the scientific method to geosciences research; introduction to library and internet searches; writing competitive research proposals; managing research activities; and disseminating research results.

A guided reading and research program ending with a thesis under direction of a senior faculty member, with a second faculty reader and oral examination.Prerequisite(s): Permission of instructor.

Individually designed study projects involving assigned reading, library work, field work, laboratory work or a combination of these. Field trips may be required. Offered for variable credit, 1-3 credit hours, maximum of 9 credit hours.Prerequisite(s): Permission of instructor.

A supplemental Honors experience in Geology to partner concurrently with designated lower-division GEOL course(s). This course adds a different intellectual dimension to designated course(s). Offered for fixed credit, 1 credit hour.Prerequisite(s): Honors Program participation and concurrent enrollment in designated course(s).

Analysis of the interactions between geological processes, biological activity, and chemical cycling for a range of elements. Limited discussion of atmospheric, terrestrial, and freshwater systems as they impact the oceans will also be discussed. Includes discussions of changes in elemental cycles through Earth's history and comparison to present-day patterns. May not be used for degree credit with GEOL 5573.Prerequisite(s): GEOL 3034 with a grade of 'C' or better and GEOL 4403 or concurrent enrollment.
