  • GLS 357: Environmental Geology

    3.00 Credits
    Salem State University

    Applied approach to environmental problems. We will focus on New England: expanding on preexisting theoretical knowledge with field trips and projects which emphasize local materials, i.e. glacial deposits, harbor sediments, crystalline rocks, and local problems. This is a lab and field oriented course intended to sharpen theory with practice. Two lecture hours and two laboratory hours per week. Field trips required, 1 weekend and several to local sites. Offered alternate years. Prerequisites: GLS353, GLS356 or permission of Department Chairperson.
