Education comes alive in Death Valley

To kick off the summer a group of students from the Department of Environmental, Geographical, and Geological Sciences spent three weeks in California's Mojave Desert. The adventurous learning experience was a part of the department’s new Special Topics in Field Geology course — designed to give students an opportunity to observe a wide variety of earth processes, apply their knowledge and reinforce skills in geological observation and interpretation.

Through this intense, field-based course, 13 students got a first-hand encounter with the geology and environmental issues of the western United States. The group said it marveled at the mining impacts, stunning geology, and complex water resource issues they encountered on their 1,800-mile trek. #CollaborativeLearning
