  • GEOL 1040 - Geology of Colorado
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2018 / Spring 2019
    Reviews the geologic evolution and history of Colorado. It first develops the basic concepts needed to interpret the geology and then systematically shows how the state evolved through geologic time. Designed for those who enjoy understanding the beauty and splendor of the state.
  • GEOL 3540 - Introduction to Petroleum Geology
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2022
    Discusses the origin and distribution of conventional and unconventional petroleum resources, source rocks, types of traps and seals, reservoir rock properties, exploration methods (seismic data analysis and interpretation, formation evaluation, subsurface mapping), reservoir characterization and modeling, reserves calculations. Department enforced prerequisite: GEOL 1010. Recommended corequisite: GEOL 3430.
  • GEOL 4700 - Special Geological Topics
