Days/Times TBA
Peter McCall
Contact: peter.mccall@case.edu
This 3 week field course will serve as in introduction to geology by looking at the land around us: glacial features, sedimentary rocks, and the structures they form when continents collide. We will travel by van to six different states and visit some famous rock outcrops and glacial features, collect from some of the best fossil localities in the world, investigate some environmental geology problems (hazardous waste disposal and groundwater pollution, landslides, mining benefits and costs), and see how the Appalachian Mountains were made. The course is constructed, operated, and graded assuming no prior geologic experience. Students will have multiple opportunities to observe, measure, and interpret at the outcrop level, and work together to piece together the history of a region. Discussion will proceed from what is observed to what is interpreted/inferred to its regional/larger significance. The course is carried out mostly in the field away from Cleveland; tent camping and hiking are required. Course fee in addition to summer tuition rates.
