Field Trips

Environmental Geology Lab/Cruise

A Day in the ChaparralGrade 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.

6th: 1a, e, f; 2a, b, c; 3a; 5a, b, c, e; 7b, d, e
