| Course description: | (Formerly GEOL 123L) This laboratory course is an introduction to mineral resource identification and data analysis. The course begins with developing the basic techniques of mineral and rock identification. Students will then explore energy units and conversions, the identification of energy resources and how exploration data is used in the search of petroleum resources. Subsequent labs will explore the identification and use of a wide variety of metallic and nonmetallic resources. An important component of this lab is the analysis of resource data (reserves and production). Concurrent enrollment: GEOL 1115. (S) |
