EPS
Course Number:
101
Course Title:
Field Geology and Digital Mapping
Instructor:
Brimhall
Description:
Geological mapping, field
observation, and problem-solving in the Berkeley hills and environs leading
to original interpretation of geological processes and history from
stratigraphic, structural, and lithological investigations. Integration of
the Berkeley hills geology into the Coast Ranges and California as a whole
through field trips to key localities. Training in digital field mapping,
global positioning systems, and laser surveying. Interdisciplinary focus
encourages participation by nonmajors.

Course Title:
The Planet Earth
Instructor:
The Planet Earth
Description:
An
introduction to the physical and chemical processes that have shaped the
earth through time, with emphasis on the theory of plate tectonics.
Laboratory work will involve the practical study of minerals, rocks, and
geologic maps and exercises on geological processes.

Geologic Record of Climate Change
Submitted by cmjones on March 6, 2007 - 12:25pm.Department:
EPS
Course Number:
8
Course Title:
Geologic Record of Climate Change
Instructor:
Berry
Description:
This
course will review the geologic record of climate change emphasizing how such
knowledge can constrain present day thinking about (and predictive models of)
future climate change. We will cover the entire spectrum of climate
variations, from the formation of the Earth's early atmosophere 4.6 billion
years ago to the ice ages to the development of instrumental records.

Stephens, Scott
Submitted by cmjones on March 6, 2007 - 11:24am.Name:
Scott Stephens
Research Interests:
Scott Stephens is interested in the interactions of wildland fire and ecosystems. This includes how prehistoric fires once interacted with ecosystems, how current wildland fires are affecting ecosystems, and how future fires and management may change this interaction. He is also interested in wildland fire policy and how it can be improved to meet the challenges of the next decades. How fire will be affected by climate change is a new area of research.

Roderick, George
Submitted by cmjones on March 6, 2007 - 10:59am.Name:
George Roderick
Research Interests:
Of particular interest are two interrelated topics: the biology and genetics of biological invasions, and the history and structure of populations. Both topics are viewed especially in the context of biodiversity science.

Mozingo, Louise
Submitted by cmjones on March 5, 2007 - 2:55pm.Name:
Louise Mozingo
Research Interests:
Professor Mozingo’s research and creative work focuses on ecological design, landscape history, and social processes in public landscapes. Landscape architectural research usually considers ecology, history, and social factors separately; the purpose of Professor Mozingo’s scholarship is to breach the intellectual boundaries between them to produce a synthetic critical perspective of landscape architecture as a complex cultural artifact.
