The class will follow earth from the formation of continents to distant future using Robert Hazen's excellent DVD lectures from the Teaching Company supplemented with the latest findings. We'll view two-30 minute lectures per class, each followed by 20 minutes for questions and discussion. (The full course has 48 lectures; we'll cover the second 24.)
