We use the scientific method to understand Earth and its inhabitants on numerous spatial and temporal scales. Students will recognize and explain fundamental Earth science principles; obtain data from online, library, and field experiences; and obtain technical vocabu - lary and skills. Earth Sciences courses are intended for both majors and general education, providing opportunities for students to meet Physical Science and Social Science CSU/UC transfer require- ments. Our transfer students are represented at CSU, UC, and pri - vate universities throughout California and beyond. Department resources include ArcGIS software, minerals, rocks, fossils, maps, and access to a district-owned 250-acre ecological reserve.

Introductory courses explore both physical and human pat - terns via spatial analysis. These components of physical geogra - phy (E
