Welcome to the online version of Environmental Geology, G107 at IUPUI. The Department of Earth Sciences created this course to meet the scheduling needs of IUPUI’s student population.
What you are reading is a Module.
These online learning tools will help you to:
- Focus on the learning objectives for the class;
- Help you to make connections between the textbook readings and our unique Indiana situation;
- Help you to make connections between the textbook and your own experiences; and
- Help you to make connections between interrelated concepts across the Modules – and there are many!
These Modules are organized into many subsections which are navigable through the tool bar on your left (ß). These sections include an Introduction (you’re reading this now), Objectives, Readings & Articles, Lecture, Global View, and Assessment.
Here is a table of what you will find in each of these sections:
