This course looks at Earth’s history from beginning to end, focusing on key events or processes that have shaped our planet, the emergence of life, and our species. I have traveled widely and can tell many stories that I hope will make the course exciting. We will cover five key topics and end with some speculation about how intriguing our time period will appear to geologists and tourists millions of years from now: Earth’s evolution and the emergence of oxygen; mountain building and Earth’s climate; major catastrophes in Earth’s history; early hominids in East Africa; and the geology of the future.
