GES 125 - Michigan Field Geology
This course is designed as a hands-on introduction to the broad scope of geology using phenomena found within the state of Michigan. Its goal is to give students direct experience with the ways geoscientists ask and answer questions about the Earth. The class begins with a 10-day field trip during which students will travel, camp, and observe and interpret a variety of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks and processes that affect them. The course finishes work at Hope College to further understand processes encountered in the field. This course is one possible introduction to the geology major. A 10-day August field trip is required. Students may not receive credit for both GES 100 /GEMS 157 and GES 125.
