Rivers, Glaciers, and Deserts

This lab manual provides students with hands-on experience studying Geology in a lab setting. The exercises provide instructional content for working with rivers, glaciers, and deserts. Several labs also focus on plate tectonics, rocks and minerals, topographic maps, superfund sites, floods, coasts, landslides, geologic timescales, and surface geology, all focused on the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The fourteen labs and three field trip modules in this manual are printed in color and have perforated pages for students to tear out and turn in.
