XNN 205 - Geologic-Ecologic Connections0 Credits
Connections Block: BIO 234-B608 Ecology and GSC 222-B608 Sediments and Soils Participants in this block will develop a large-scale integrated appreciation for how geology, soil science, and ecosystem processes shape the world around us. Geology determines spatial landscape patterns, topography and soil parent material; this drives the development of soils and the processes that shape ecosystems. Soils and ecosystems further interact as soils promote and/or constrain ecosystem processes, while ecosystem processes influence soil development, morphology, and function. This block combines exposure to these interactions with a true understanding of how the natural world works; it is ideal for sophomores looking for advanced science blocks.
Prerequisites: BIO 115 or BIO 128 and GSC 107 , GSC 112 , or GSC 120
