C ONSERVATION OF NA TURAL RESOURCES
Principles and problems of public and private stewardship )f o u r resources with special reference to the Pacific -Northwest. (2)
STRUCTURAL G EOLOGY
The form a n d spatial relationships o f various rock masses and an i ntrod uction to rock deformation; consideration of basic processes to understand mountain building and continental formation; laboratory emphasizes practical techniques which enable students to analyze regional structural patterns.
