Geosystems

Geosystems is the study of the earth’s many interfaces between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, rock structures, and biosphere that includes both internal energy sources and external energy from the sun that drive the varying changes on our planet.  The course requires a prior knowledge of biology, chemistry, and physics and is highly quantitative.  All students will encounter problems that will exercise their math skills up through calculus and opportunities arise for the application of multivariable calculus and differential equations for those students so prepared.
