Course Objective

In this course it has been made every attempt to discuss difficult subjects in a way that will enable students to better understand what is happening. However, many of these subjects are difficult, and considerable study is necessary to understand them thoroughly. Finally, more advanced courses in areas such as hydrogeology, geochemistry, and seismology are suggested for those students who wish to pursue these subjects further.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   comprehend and understand the principles of environmental geology.
2   to be able to apply the geologic information to the entire spectrum of interactions between people and our physical environment.
3   study of environmental geology facilitated by previous exposure to an introductory physical geology or geography course.
