A review of the federal laws and regulatory procedures that affect the practice of environmental geology & engineering.

Geology 623. Sedimentary Environments (3 credits).

Study of principles and concepts involved in reconstructing ancient sedimentary environments by way of lithologic, structural, and biological aspects of sedimentary rocks and uses of facies models.

Geology 645. Sedimentary Basin Analysis (3 credits).

Study of sedimentary basins in their tectonic and paleogeographical setting, with emphasis on the collection and analysis of field data, geophysical logs, basin mapping techniques, seismic stratigraphy, and thermal maturity studies.

Geology 646. Sedimentary Structures in Clastic Rocks (3 credits).

The recognition, significance, and hydrodynamic origin of sedimentary structures in clastic sediments and sedimentary rocks, with strong emphasis on application of sediment transport mechanics and fluid dynamics to these features.

Geology 647. Mechanics of Sediment Transport (3 credits).

Study of the properties of fluid flow, analysis of forces acting on a grain, initial motion, bedload and suspended load transport, and deposition.
