Geology 303 - Ancient Depositional Environments and Present Environmental Geology

Institution:
Allegheny College
Subject:
Description:
An examination of the dependency between ancient depositional systems and present environmental geologic concerns using the Appalachian Plateau (Kentucky region) as a case example. Initial focus is upon deltaic and carbonate sedimentary processes and their genetic link to tectonics, paleoclimate, and paleo-sea level. The distribution of resultant sedimentary strata is then linked to present landforms, environmental resources (coal, oil, and gas, groundwater), geohazards, engineering practices and land use. Field trip: Kentucky-ancient delta systems and karst terrain. Credit: Two semester hours.
