At completion of GEOL 462, students will have demonstrated:
- Knowledge of sampling and analytical methods for measuring trace elements and stable and radiogenic isotopes in a range of Earth materials (Scholarship, Research)
- Understanding of possible sources of uncertainty in geochemical data and the use of statistics to estimate accuracy and precision (Research, Critical thinking)
- Experience with the numerical manipulation and presentation of geochemical data for the purpose of communication and interpretation (Communication, Information literacy)
- Understanding of the principles that govern select biogeochemical systems and the effects of human activity on these systems (Scholarship, Interdisciplinary perspective, Environmental literacy)
- Enhanced capacity to read relevant peer-reviewed scientific literature and to understand and critically evaluate interpretations made on the basis of geochemical data (Scholarship, Critical thinking)
