Course Description

Course builds on experience and field techniques acquired from GEOL 521 through hands-on participation in on-going paleontology research. Students acquire greater understanding of field data collection and formulation and testing of hypotheses; and advanced knowledge of paleoenvironments and geological processes.

The goal and purpose of this class is to provide an in-depth course for teachers in geology and paleontology that builds on previous experience and field techniques acquired from GEOL 521: Dinosaur Paleontology of the Hell Creek Formation.

Provide hands-on opportunity for participation in on-going paleontology research in order to acquire a better understanding of field data collecting and how these data are used to formulate and test hypotheses
Acquire additional skills used in geology and paleontology that are applicable to teaching earth science
Provide an understanding of basic concepts of biology and geology, including evolutionary processes and extinction events
Acquire additional knowledge of paleoenvironments, including those that supported terrestrial and marine fauna
Obtain a better understanding of tectonic processes and glacial geology.
