GEOLOGY Natural and Applied Sciences Division Wanda Garner, Division Dean Division Office, Room 701 David Schwartz, Program Chair, 479-6495 Counselor: 479-6225 or 479-6274 for appointment Watsonville Counselor: 477-5134 Call 479-6328 for more information www.cabrillo.edu/programs Geology Transfer Information Geology is the study of Earth materials and processes. A masters or Ph.D. in this field will enable the graduate to have a career in a wide variety of fields such as research, academia, engineering/consulting, geohydrology, seismology, volcanology, geophysics, glaciology, and economic geology (ore and hydrocarbon deposits), to name a few. Geology and Earth Sciences are offered as majors at UC and CSU. Requirements vary from campus to campus. See a counselor and consult the catalog for more specific information. Transfer students have three sets of requirements to consider for successful transfer to UC, CSU and most private institutions. They are: 1. admission requirements to the specific university, 2. general education requirements at the specific university, and 3. lower division preparation in the major (courses needed to be admissible to the major.) To ensure that you understand and include all of the above in your educational plan, it is essential to meet with a counselor early in your attendance at Cabrillo College. Information on equivalencies for general education and major requirements at UC and CSU are available at www.assist.org.

Introduction to the phenomena and basic principles of geology with laboratory exercises illustrating the nature of minerals, rocks, geological processes, and the use and interpretation of topographic and geologic maps. Transfer Credit: Transfers to CSU. Transfers to UC. CAN GEOL2. GEOL 15 Environmental Geology 3 units; 3 hours Lecture Recommended Preparation: Eligibility for ENGL 100 and READ 100. A physical science survey course dealing with the interactions among Earth systems, humans and the environment. Topics include understanding Earth systems and the physical interactions among different systems, natural disasters (earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, landslides, etc), groundwater, waste disposal, pollution, resources and population, engineering geology and land-use planning. Students will turn in several projects including construction of a land-use map of a local area as a means of learning how multiple geologic factors influence our local landuse. Transfer Credit: Transfers to CSU. Transfers to UC. GEOL 20 California Geology 4 units; 3 hours Lecture, 3 hours Laboratory Recommended Preparation: Eligibility for ENGL 100 and READ 100. A study of the geology of California. Includes an introduction to the phenomena and basic principles of geology and a survey of the topography, structure, geologic history, climate and resources of each geomorphic province of California. Field trips required. Transfer Credit: Transfers to CSU. Transfers to UC. 168 Geology
