GEOG 1010 - Introduction to Physical Geography (4CR)
(3L, 2LB) [E] An introductory course that draws on many scientific fields to examine interactions between humans and their physical environment. Geology, meteorology, climatology, pedology, biology, and hydrology supply the background material, but the key word is interaction: how and why the weather affects our lives, food supply and soil formation, and where and how we can live within the limits imposed by the various environments of the earth. Because we live on the surface of the earth, the course will examine the major processes involved in shaping and landscape.

GEOG 1040 - Snow and Ice Field Class (4CR)
(3L, 2LB) Of all of the environmental factors which shape the physical world in which we live, the snow and the ice (cryosphere) component is probably the least understood and appreciated by the layman and the scientist alike. At the same time, our existence is tremendously impacted in both positive and negative ways by these factors. Students will be required to attend field components including two local weekend excursions and a week-long field course in a location to be determined. Some field work may be physically strenuous; however, participation in these activities will be optional. Other approved exercises may be substituted if necessary.
Prerequisites: Permission of the instructor.

GEOG 1080 - Introduction to GPS and Maps (3CR)
(3L) An introductory course in maps and satellite-based global positioning systems (GPS). The course provides a project-based introduction to geographic information systems (GIS), for individualized investigations into geography, cultural diversity and/or cultural evolution. This course introduces historic navigation techniques, and the cartographic concepts of scale, elevation, and coordinate systems. We examine how GPS work, and were first developed, and perform exercises that introduce the basic skills of using a handheld global positioning device.
