Course Number Course Title Semester Units Hours GEOG 175 Field Exploration: 3 2 hours lecture California Coastal Mountains 3 hours lecture 2. Prerequisites None. 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 California coastal mountain region. 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 along the San Andreas fault system, the Coast Ranges, and the Klamath Mountains. Students will learn various field study techniques including map interpretation, map analysis, the use of field instruments including mineral and rock identification tools, compasses, and global positioning devices (GPS). The course requires field trip travel, often including overnight camping and light to moderate hiking. 4. Course Objectives The student will: Recognize and describe the natural features associated with the California coastal mountains areas. To interpret related processes responsible for creating the physical landscape of coastal California 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 inquire (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 a. Access to the internet. b. Standard classroom with smart cart technology. c. Field study area. GEOGRAPHY 175 FIELD EXPLORATION: CALIFORNIA COASTAL MOUNTAINS page 2 6.

Course Content Identification of rock types, geologic structures, weather patterns, native plants, and landforms specific to the coastal California region. 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 areas within coastal California mountains. 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 a. Lecture. b.
