Geology 7: Age of Dinosaurs |
|
| The origin and diversification of dinosaurs, and the evolutionary relationship of dinosaurs (including their living descendents) to other major groups of vertebrates. Broad introduction including discussion of dinosaur ecology, anatomy, extinction, and paleogeography. |
Geology 18: Field Studies in Geology |
|
| Fall and Spring 4-5 day field trips to important geological sites in California. All students welcome (including non-science majors!). |
Geology 111: Principles of Paleontology |
|
| The ecologic structure and evolution of the biosphere as illustrated by the fossil record. |
Geology 144: Invertebrate Paleontology |
|
| Geol 144 website | |
| Important topics in paleobiology are discussed in the context of the evolutionary history of invertebrate animal life. These include macroevolutionary theory, diversification and extinction events, ecological and geobiological interactions through time, and the incompleteness of the fossil record. |
Geology 159C: The Early Evolution of Life and its Environmental Context |
|
| The first 3.5 billion years of life and the environmental context in which it evolved. Highly multidisciplinary, drawing on evidence from geology, geochemistry, paleontology, and comparative biology. |
Geology 270: Graduate Seminar |
|
| Topics in Paleontology |
