About this Course

The overarching questions this seminar will address are 'How does the geology along 1-90 in Washington state change and what accounts for the geologic differences east and west of the Cascade Mountains?'  You will design your own research questions, conduct your own geologic fieldwork, collect your own data and learn how to apply the scientific method in a geologic setting. You will participate in fieldtrips to geologically significant locations both east and west of the Cascade Mountains.
