Course Homepage: http://www.geo.lsa.umich.edu/teaching/davis/davis147.html Geological Sciences 147 is part of the First-Year Seminar Series and is open to both incoming first-year students as well as those completing their first year at the University of Michigan at the time of application. The course will explore various natural disasters, with an emphasis on large, explosive volcanic eruptions (like those that may occur at Yellowstone National Park), earthquakes and landslides (with vivid examples in the area), large meteorite impacts (like those that killed the dinosaurs ~65 million years ago), and climate change (past, present and future). The course will involve seminar-type discussions, field excursions, as well as oral presentations and written reports by the students. Prerequisites: No prerequisites. Entering and first-year University of Michigan students are encouraged to Tuition and Fees: Course Dates and Transportation: Transportation will be provided to and from the Jackson, Wyoming airport. Students are responsible for arranging flights
(or other forms of travel) to and from Jackson, Wyoming on July 1st and July 19th, respectively. Prerequisites & Distribution: One of GS 116, 117 or 119; or GS 205 and 206. (4). (Excl). (BS).

Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. This course surveys the geologic evolution of Michigan and the surrounding Great Lakes region in the context of modern geologic theory. The course can be taken by students with no background in geology, although a background in high-school level science and math is necessary. It begins with a review of important basic geologic principles and uses this foundation to illustrate more advanced geologic concepts with examples from Michigan and the Great Lakes region. This approach permits the course to deal with problems that are of present research interest to geoscientists, such as formation of the early continents, evolution of important continental features such as the Michigan Basin and Mid-Continent Rift, as well geologically more recent continental glaciation. Throughout the course, attention is given to the important mineral resources of the region, such as copper, iron, oil and gas, and salt. The course consists of lectures and take-home exercises involving map interpretation that are designed to illustrate the points being made in class. A book is recommended for the course and a course pack is required. Prerequisites & Distribution: Permission of instructor. (1-6). (Excl). (BS). (INDEPENDENT). May be repeated for a total of six credits. Credits: (1-6). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. Readings, discussions, and special work in geological sciences for undergraduate Honors students.
