Students explore how the geosciences contribute to criminal and military investigations, and to the understanding, prediction, and mitigation of geologic hazards. Students investigate the magnitude, frequency, causes, and impacts of geologic hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, landslides, and meteor impacts. Students develop skills for the prediction, monitoring, assessment, and determination of causes of damage. Students examine the role of geosciences for national security and geological methods used in criminal investigations. Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for the course, but GEOL 1111 or equivalent is recommended.
