GLG 303 :: Grand Canyon Natural Science
This class is an introduction to the geology, paleontology, climate, climatic history, and living biota of the Grand Canyon region - it's Natural History! This course challenges you to apply the principles and knowledge of geology to the long, complex, and varied history of our earth. The evidence that we will examine about past geological biotic events can be observed in rock structures, land forms, rock composition, and fossils recovered from the crust of the earth. The approach used here is not just 'What we know' but 'How we know'. There is heavy emphasis on field trips. :: 3 credits
