Students examine current issues and questions regarding the geology of the solid inner planets, moons, and small bodies of our solar system. The laboratory component allows students to work with data from spacecraft missions and sample-based studies.
Requisites:
Credit Hours: 4
Repeat/Retake Information: May not be retaken.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 2.0 lecture, 2.0 laboratory
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
- Be able to outline the geological evolution of the solar system and major planets in addition to several moons and small bodies.
- Compare and contrast solid bodies in the solar system with each other with respect to geology.
- Graduate students are expected to perform at a higher level than undergraduates and must be able to better synthesize information.
- Graduate students will answer three additional essay questions on exams to demonstrate their superior level of understanding and capability of synthesis.
- Have an understanding of the fundamental geological processes (in addition to physical, chemical, and biological processes) at work on solid bodies in the solar system.
