GEL 3530 - Advanced Geology of the Colorado Plateau


Credits: 2 (2 + 0)

Prerequisite(s): Nine hours of geography or geology or Permission of instructor; GEL 3510, GEL 3520 and/or GEL 3560 recommended

Description: This course requires an analytical approach to the geology of the eastern Colorado Plateau, including the geology of the Colorado National Monument, Arches National Park, and Northern and Southern Canyon lands National Parks. Along with basic concepts of geology, the formations exposed in the eastern Colorado Plateau, including their ages, rock types and origins, are analyzed. Historical geology and geomorphology come to life in this beautiful, desolate, arid country. Students must be in good physical condition because strenuous hiking is involved, and students must have prior camping experience.

Note: Students cannot take both GEL 1530 and GEL 3530 for credit.
