Exploration of relationship between physical processes, such as tectonics and climate, and how they affect surface and impact biology of Earth. Study of evolution of universe, Earth, and life, with integration of history of science, including Darwinian evolution and plate tectonics revolutions. Study of formation of matter offers tools to understand geologic process of climate and ecology of Earth. Past climate change to examine expected future human-influenced climate. Consideration of major events in history of life on Earth. Data and methods from geology, genetics, and geochemistry are integrated to reconstruct past events.

Fall 2017 - WORST CLASS OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. Seriously, if you want a 4 unit EEB class with the workload of 20 units this is the one. He posts approximately 140 slides per lecture and he does not go over any of them properly. The dude is not clear at all! Just try to write a sentence he says and try to make a sense of of it! The readings are ridiculously long and there are quizzes based on the readings every session. The labs are unnecessarily long and hard and there are also prelabs and post labs for each week. There are a reasearch paper and a presentation at the end of the quarter ( like 2 midterms and 1 cumulative final were not enough). If you are a masochist and like to be tortured for 10 weeks wish you the best in this class!!!!
