This 3-credit course includes a two-week long field-oriented short course that will introduce a group of 14 to 18 undergraduate students to the geology and natural history of the eastern Sierra Nevada mountain chain of eastern California. The course will focus on the geological processes and natural history of one of the most geologically and biologically dynamic parts of the continent, as well as the natural hazards and environmental issues facing the a unique and environmentally sensitive area of the western U.S. Students will be exposed to critical thinking on a series of scientific, societal and ethical topics and expected to actively participate in oral and written projects. The final project will be a class web site with each student's contribution equivalent to a 10-15 page research paper.
