In the Earth History Course, students read evidence from rock, landforms, and fossils to tell the geological story of a place. Students grapple with Earth's processes and systems that have operated over geological time, coming to understand the rock cycle, human interactions with natural resources, and the technology that supports the geosciences. Through their study of Earth history, students will become more confident in their ability to ask good questions and to recognize and use evidence from the rocks to come up with explanations of past environments.
