Comment on this resource
The Processes and Concepts of Geology course is described as the fundamental, unifying course in the geology curriculum at the College of Wooster. The goals are to teach the basic scientific techniques used by geologists, how to access a wide variety of geological information, how to make scientific observations, and how to develop hypotheses. This site is a complete syllabus with lecture and laboratory outlines. A section for announcements lists not only upcoming course activities, but current geologic events in the headlines as well. The news announcements are hyper-linked to photos and complete articles. A page for offsite geological links connects to resources of the following categorizes: Plate Tectonic Overview and General Geology Links, Earth's Materials, Concepts of Geologic Time and Dating, Crustal Deformation and Plate Margins, Crustal Evolution Over Time, and Miscellaneous. There are also local links to The College of Wooster and the Department of Geology, the Paleomagnetics Lab, OhioSeis Seismic Station, and the College of Wooster Library.
