GEO 304 - Modern and Ancient Geologic Processes in the White Mountains


Credits: 2
An exploration of the relationship between geologic processes and the plate tectonics model as recorded in the rock record of north-central New Hampshire. Students examine: (1) evidence of sedimentation, metamorphism, deformation and magmatism in Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks; and (2) how these rocks can be used to interpret the tectonic history of the region. Dominant geologic processes of the more recent Cenozoic Era (glaciation, rock/land slides, and acid rain neutralization) are also examined and discussed. Field trip: White Mountains, New Hampshire.

Prerequisite: GEO 108  or GEO 110 , and permission of instructor. Pre- or Corequisite: GEO 120 

Distribution Requirements: QR, SP.
