PHYSC 125 Earth and Space Science

3 Credits

As a study of the concepts which constitute the foundations of astronomy, space science, and the earth sciences (geology, meteorology, and oceanography), this course involves calculations for the solution of problems in astronomy and geology. Relationships of space and earth sciences to physics and chemistry are explored and applied. Current and changing models for the description of the earth and the universe are also investigated, with a particular focus among the various scientific disciplines and their connections to current popular perceptions of the earth.
