Continuing Education Course: GEOLOGY AND EARTH SCIENCES OF SOUTHERN UTAH ![]() The Past, Present and Future of the St George Area
Mondays 6:00 TO 8:00 PM, October 19, 2009 to December 7, 2009 Who says Earth Science can’t be fun? Do Geology and Paleontology have to be stuffy? We say “NO”! This class is a people-friendly introduction to the geologic setting of Southwestern Utah against the backdrop of the Colorado Plateau and the Colorado River Basin. We will even do some time-travelling! On a big picture level, this class will review some of the still active geologic forces and processes which created the amazing geology of our region. On a local level, we will discuss subjects like types of rocks and how they were made, including the “Moki Marbles” of Snow Canyon. No, you won't have to memorize dates and long lists of scientific names! Our goal is for you to look at the various rock formations around here, and understand how and when they were made, and what creatures might have lived at that time. Class members are encouraged to ask questions, especially those “afraid to ask” questions about the place of geology in our human experience. Information will be presented with a variety of media. Class participation is encouraged, and we do have lots of fun! Yes, of course, you know we will sneak in some petroglyph pictures among all the rocks and dinosaurs. |
