GEO 2500 - Wasatch in the Field

This field course will explore the Wasatch Front and geological processes and phenomena therein using techniques from a broad array of geoscience disciplines. Investigative techniques will include, but are not limited to: geological field mapping, slope characterization, lidar mapping, outcrop interpretation, seismic, gravity, and GPS surveys, and data collection from groundwater wells and streams. Weekly lectures will introduce methods and problems to be explored and will discuss and analyze results from the field exercises. This is a core Geoscience course. One lecture, one 4-hour lab weekly. GEO2350 at SLCC, GEO4000 at SUU, and GEO2500 at UVU USHE institutions articulates to this course.
