Corequisite None Recommended Preparation None. 3. Catalog Description This week-long course involves lecture and field study of natural processes and features in selected areas of the Southern Cascade Range and the Modoc Plateau. Lectures en route and on site may include the origin, evolution, and significance of the regions tectonic setting, geomorphic features, hydrology, native plants, and weather. The course may also examine human-environment interactions as well as spatial and temporal variations in areas such as Lava Beds National Monument, McArthur-Burney Falls State Park, and Lassen Volcanic National Park. Students will learn various field study techniques including map interpretation, map analysis, and the use of field instruments including mineral and rock identification tools, compasses, and global positioning devices (GPS). The course requires field trip travel, including overnight camping and light to moderate hiking. 4. Course Objectives The student will: Recognize and describe the natural features associated with the Cascade Range and Modoc Plateau region. Interpret related processes responsible for creating the physical landscape of the Cascade Range and Modoc Plateau provinces and how those processes, through time, explain the current geologic setting. Assess natural hazards and evaluate the effect of human activities on the physical environment. Prepare sketches, maps, and field notes of observations and interpretations. Employ tools of scientific inquiry (i.e., topographic maps, geologic maps, compasses, hand lens and GPS devices) to measure and analyze natural phenomena throughout the region. Synthesize the information obtained throughout the course through observation, measurement, note-taking, lecture discussion, and group as well as individual participation via a written summary report or interpretational final exam responses. 5. Instructional Facilities Standard classroom with smart cart technology. Field study area. GEOG 173 FIELD EXPLORATION: CASCADE RANGE / MODOC PLATEAU Page 2 6. Special Materials Required of Student Field notebook. Access to minimal camping equipment to be used for the field trips. 7. Course Content Identification of rock types, geologic structures, weather patterns, native plants, and landforms specific to the Cascade Range and Modoc Plateau regions. Relationship of area-specific natural features to geologic and geographic concepts such as the rock cycle, hydrologic cycle, and integrated earth-systems processes. Background information on the tectonic, biologic, hydrologic, and atmospheric setting of the Cascade Range and Modoc Plateau areas. General geology and geography of the selected study area with emphasis on understanding the processes that shaped that area and its evolution through time. The effects of natural hazards on humans and the effect that human activity has on the potential for natural hazards. Instruction in the use of various tools of scientific inquiry such as topographic and geologic maps, compasses, GPS devices, graphs, diagrams, and charts. 8. Method of Instruction Lecture. Group discussion. Field study and observation Measurement and analysis of key natural features. 9. Methods of Evaluating Student Performance Hand specimen identification, essay questions and objective exams or quizzes, including final exam. Field exercises. Evaluation of field notebook. Final project/presentation based on observations and data obtained in the field. Homework Assignments 10. Outside Class Assignments Pre-trip preparatory homework. Reading current papers in scientific journals. 11. Texts a. Required Text(s): None. b. Supplementary texts and workbooks: (1) Appropriate papers, articles, and excerpts will be assigned for readings.
