Historical Geology is the study of the major developments in the history of the Earth and its systems - its lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere - from their origin to the present. The course begins by examining fundamental concepts of sedimentary geology, stratigraphy, age dating methods, fossils and organic evolution.
