Field Trips
Environmental Geology Boat/Lab
 Grade 4-6
Four hours, $1550 for up to 45 participants
Students learn how physical processes and human actions can alter the surrounding
environment. In the lab, students learn about stream structure and dynamics, erosion
processes, local geological history, and longshore transport. Aboard the R/V Sea Explorer, they take part in data
collection at three designated sample sites. The students examine nitrogen levels, plankton productivity/diversity,
and the nearshore benthic habitat as they move along the transect line from the mouth of San Juan Creek toward a
local wastewater outfall. The data collected at each site is compared to current and archived information.
