GEOL 280I - Workshop: Name That Rock II—The Science of Rock Identification

Semester Hours: 1
Join Dr. Merguerian on a one-day workshop devoted to the identification of rocks. Through the use of visual examination and testing together with stereoscopic and petrographic microscopy we will develop skills in the art of rock identification and classification. Starting with the basics of the rock cycle in the first part of the morning session, the workshop will fully explore the significant rocks of the Earth’s crust and discuss various rock types of the major geological provinces of New York state. The session will end by developing insights into the use of rocks in the evaluation of geological history.
