  1. Welcome toElements of Geology

  2. Here’s what I hope we accomplish: • We will explore the way the Earth works, what it is made of, and how it changes over time. • We will examine how scientists approach problems and, in particular, how geologists “know” the way the Earth works.

  3. . . .to continue • We will examine the history of earth science as a field of human endeavor. • We will examine how geology relates to other science disciplines.

  4. How Should I Study inElements of Geology?

  5. Vocabulary • Do I understand the vocabulary? • Do I understand the concept that the words are meant to convey?

  6. Geologic Processes • What are the geologic processes? • How does this process work?

  7. Geologic Features • How was this geologic feature formed? • Where could I go to see the geologic feature being described?

  8. Relationships • How is this observation or idea related to others we have considered? • How is it related to things I have learned elsewhere?

  9. Why? • Why do earth scientists care about this topic? • Why should I care?

  10. Who am I? • Born and grew up in Fort Smith, AR • B.S. in Chemistry from Arkansas Tech • M.S. in Geology from U of A – Fayetteville • Ph.D. in Paleontology from Tulane Univ. • UAM since 1977
