Description:

The stunning and diverse landscapes of the Southwest are the product of over four billion years of geologic activity. In this course, we take a journey through deep geologic time and beyond, exploring first the formation of the universe and our solar system, then the birth of our planet, and finally the geologic upheavals that have shaped Arizona and the Southwest. From the comfort of Prescott, we will cogitate about the Southwest's geological evolution through readings, lectures, discussions, class presentations, and lab exercises. We will then live those geologic upheavals and tranquil interludes through the vehicle of several field trips lasting from one to several days.
