Basic ecologic and evolutionary framework of common fossil invertebrate taxa. Major principles of paleontology, ecology, systematics, and evolution; and the use of fossils in paleoecology and biostratigraphy. Laboratory work in the classification of common fossils. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, three hours per week.

An introduction to the principles and applications of geophysics in the field. The course will present the geophysical methods used to assess the configuration and physical properties of the Earth's subsurface, as well as to explore for natural resources. Designed for geology students science or engineering students without prior formal instruction in geophysics. To understand the discussions and exercises, the student should be familiar with first-year calculus and physics.
