Hands-on experience during several Saturday morning field trips to different locations in our region. Students must provide their own transportation. Field activities are meant to mimic what field geologists do. Use of on-site observations to interpret and understand the building of the Appalachian Mountains and the geological development of Ohio. Two lab hours in the field per week. Course offered during 8-week B-term. Open to undergraduate and graduate students with or pursuing degrees in geology, and K-12 science educators with or working toward Master Science Teaching (MST).
