Students planning to pursue geology at the graduate level should also take GEO , an accredited summer field camp; CHE (Chemical Principles I and II) or CHE (Accelerated General Chemistry); MAT (Calculus I and II); and PHY (General Physics I and II), or (Introductory Physics I and II); also an intermediate-level course in a foreign language. Teaching Major : GEO , and three additional Geology courses at or above the 200 level; and PHY (Astronomy) or (Energy Alternatives). Supporting work in the other sciences and mathematics is strongly recommended. In addition to the foregoing requirements, prospective teachers must also apply for admission to the Teacher Education Program (preferably at the start of their sophomore year) and complete a second major in Secondary Education , as described under Education Minor : A minimum of seven course credits in Geology which include GEO 111, 112, 212, 215, 217, and two electives which must be at or above the 200 level. Supporting coursework in other sciences and mathematics is recommended. Environmental Studies majors may receive a minor in Geology only if the two elective Geology courses are not counted toward the Environmental Studies major.

Extractions: Dr. J Bret Bennington Micropaleontology and Palynology Stromatolites Although stromatolites are megascopic organo-sedimentary structures more within the realm of sedimentology than micropaleontology, they are produced by bacteria (prokaryotic organisms) so we will consider them along with other fossil microbes. The term Stromatolite is defined as an accretionary organosedimentary structure, commonly laminated, megascopic, and calcareous, produced as a result of the growth and metabolic activities of mat-forming, filimentous prokaryotes - primarily cyanobacteria ("blue green algae", which are not algae at all - algae are eukaryotes). Sedimentary particles carried by currents and tides settle out onto the mat surface. Bacterial cells grow upward through the sedimentary material, trapping and binding it, and forming a new mat surface. This process is continuously repeated to produce laminations of sediment bound by older mat material with the living growing microbial mat remaining on the outer surface of the mound. Stromatolites can be stratiform (flat)

Funding is provided by UCDavis, NASA Exobiology, and DOE.) Carbon and hydrogen scatter neutrons much more effectively than common rock-forming atoms such as oxygen, silicon, alluminum, etc. Thus, digital imaging of the attenuation of neutrons through a rock sample can highlight areas with high concentrations of scattering atoms such as those in organics. Using computational techniques similar to those used in X-ray CT, we can reconstruct the 3-d distribution of organics in rocks. Currently, we are developing new callibration and processing techniques to develop astrobiological applications for neutron CT. We will apply these techniques to various problems including studies of endolithic communities, ancient microbialites, and porosity in rocks. (See

Extractions: Senior Lecturer D. Keller Geology is the study of the physical and chemical nature of the Earth, the evolution and impact of life on the planet, and the global processes active both now and in the past. An understanding of geology is developed through the scientific study of fossils, sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks, and past and present-day ecosystems, including the oceanic realm. Introductory courses are designed to contribute significantly to a liberal arts education and an understanding of the environment. Advanced courses provide the highest possible level of general and preprofessional training for concentrators. Concentrations in geology or environmental geology provide students with the opportunity to pursue careers in the geological and environmental sciences, business, and education, as well as government and public service. Upon graduation, many geology concentrators go on to graduate study in geology, hydrology, oceanography, environmental sciences, and environmental policy and law. Other graduates go directly into a wide spectrum of employment situations, including business, environmental consulting, teaching and administration in schools and museums, and mineral resources and petroleum-related jobs.

Extractions: Paleontology at The University of Kansas is studied in five academic departments: Geology, Systematics and Ecology, Botany, Anthropology, and Geography. Some paleontologists in these academic departments also have joint appointments in the Natural History Museum, the Museum of Anthropology, the Kansas Geological Survey, or the Paleontological Institute. The Geological Survey has a long tradition of research in paleontology and sedimentology, especially carbonate petrology. Staff members of the Survey often teach courses and direct the research of graduate students in the academic departments, especially in the Department of Geology. The University recently entered into a joint agreement with Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, whereby faculty members in the KSU Department of Geology can direct the doctoral dissertation research of geology students at KU, thus offering a wider level of expertise for graduate students. Paleontology is interpreted broadly herein and is practiced widely at The University of Kansas. It involves invertebrate paleontology, especially the study of Paleozoic faunas; vertebrate paleontology, especially the higher vertebrates; Paleozoic and Mesozoic paleobotany; Quaternary palynology; and paleoanthropology. In addition, the study of paleoecology and the interpretation of ancient environments play an important role in the studies, often involving interactions with sedimentologists, Quaternary geologists, geomorphologists, biologists, and archaeologists.
