GEOL 5050 Process Geomorphology (3)
Prerequisite: Permission of instructor
An applied, systematic process approach to landform development based upon threshold concepts. The geomorphic process emphasized include mass movements, fluvial, aeolian, glacial and karat geomorphology. Laboratory work is based upon aerial photographs, maps, field projects and computer data analysis.

GEOL 577A Selected Topics in Regional Geology (4)
A seminar-discussed-laboratory approach to those aspects of geology which are most basic to an understanding of the geology of a large region, like the Tennessee-Kentucky area.

GEOL 577B Selected Topics in Environmental Geology (4)
Analysis of a selected problem dealing with application of geologic concepts to regional planning, urban land use and conservation. Emphasis will be placed on student-generated field data where appropriate.

GEOL 577C Selected Topics in Paleontology (4)
Analysis of the fossil record of selected groups of animals. Emphasis is on time-dependant changes in morphology and adaptation.

GEOL 577D Selected Topics in Stratigraphy (4)
Field and laboratory examination of sedimentary strata. Lecture discussion of descriptive processes and historical interpretation of rock unit.
