Institution:

Nassau Community College

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisites: Permission of Instructor. This is a limited enrollment course that runs during select intersessions for a period of 10 days. Special fees for transportation are required. This is an activity-oriented approach to the study of some of the regionally accessible geologic features: their processes, history and beauty. The participants in this course will be introduced to a varied curriculum of the regional physical, historical, economic and environmental geologic phenomena. A brief sampling of some topics open to investigation are: post-glacial features, coastal barrier beach problems/dynamics, the identification of major rock outcrop features, mining operations, and mineral and fossil collecting. Laboratory and field equipment will be used for the gathering of specimens and data to help develop an understanding of the gross geologic aspects of a particular location. A portion of the time needed to accomplish these goals will be spent as preparation and review on campus in the laboratory/lecture room. Field sites will be reached primarily through the use of chartered transportation. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI
