EPS 101: Earth Materials: Introduction to Mineralogy
This course will focus on the foundational science of identifying, classifying, and interpreting rock-forming minerals with a focus on minerals formed through magmatic and metamorphic processes. Lectures will focus on mineral physics, mineral properties, and its applications to understanding the interior of the earth. Labs will focus on both hand sample mineral identification as well as principals of optical mineralogy. Prerequisites:
EPS1 - Introduction to Geology (previously
GEOLSCI1) OR
EARTHSYS11 - Introduction to Geology

EPS 189: Tectonics Field Trip (EPS 289, GEOPHYS 108, GEOPHYS 214)
(Formerly
GEOLSCI 189 and 289) What does an earthquake fault look like near Earth's surface? How about the inside of, or beneath, a volcano? Why does California experience earthquakes and volcanic eruptions? Learn about thermo-physico-chemical evolution (mass transport, heat transport) in Earth's crust through a required long-weekend field trip (some camping, all equipment provided) in Dead Week (in 2022: evening Thurs 5/26 - evening Mon 5/30) likely to northern California/southern Oregon, including Crater Lake, Lassen and Lava Tubes National Parks/Monument). May be repeated for credit (future destinations likely include Sierra Nevada, Owens Valley, Mono Lake, Yosemite, San Andreas fault, Mendocino Triple Junction, and western Basin and Range province. Lectures provide context for planned trip. Minimum pre-req:
EPS 1 (co-registration acceptable) or
EPS 110 or equivalent (Previously GEOLSCI1 and
GEOPHYS110). No Class on Monday, March 28th. First meeting Friday, April 1, 2022. Change of Department Name: Earth and Planetary Science (Formerly Geologic Sciences).
