Red Canyon Terrace Project part of Cutting Edge:Geoscience in the Field:Activities
This project is designed to give students: (1) experience in mapping the details of surficial geologic deposits (Qal), (2) an understanding the geomorphic relations among surficial deposits and underlying/associated bedrock units, and (3) an appreciation for geomorphic characteristics that can be used to measure the relative ages of surficial deposits.
