Geology is a subject that is best learned through a combination of methods, including field excursions to see the rocks, processes and environments that are discussed in class. There 2 field trips scheduled for this class. The first (Oct 5-7) will be to locations in Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Participation on this trip is a mandatory part of the class. The second field trip in November is to Fossil Pak in Sylvania, and is optional.

EEES 1020: Lab Course
Please be aware that there is a lab course EEES 1202: Physical Geology Lab which gives further hands on experience. Though not required, this 1 credit course helps in understanding many of the concepts taught in this class, and many students find it helpful to take during the same semester as EEES 2100.
