  • ASTR 16: Core to the Cosmos: Contributions of Women to Astronomy

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    From the edge of the cosmos to the cores of planets, the scientific discoveries of women shape our understanding of space. Using the perspective of influential women in astronomy, the course explores major astronomical and planetary science discoveries, such as the expansion of the universe, life cycles of stars, formation of the solar system, and the structure of the Earth as well as their role in space exploration and science missions. This course does not satisfy major, concomitant, or specialization requirements for Secondary Education and/or Liberal Arts Science majors or count toward major GPA for Physics majors.

  • ASTR 205: Planetary Surface Processes

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    This course examines the physics of processes that break solid rock into transportable materials and the physical and chemical mechanisms behind the movement and deposition of that material on planetary surfaces. Using quantitative analysis, laboratory, remote sensing, field experiments, and qualitative assessment, this course links the physical and chemical weathering of planetary surfaces, including the fundamentals of fluid flow, sediment transport, erosion, and deposition to processes ranging from microscopic to mountain building. A laboratory course, planetary surface processes focuses on collecting and using actual data sets and applying them to the sedimentary, tectonic, and atmospheric history of a planet.
