WNC’s 'Geology of Nevada' class includes field trips
Do you want to learn more about the geology around you? If you have Tuesday afternoons open this fall, you have the opportunity to learn about Nevada's exceptional geology, including the geologic history of Nevada, as well as the rocks and minerals that make up the state.
Western Nevada College Professor of Geosciences Dr. Winnie Kortemeier will teach Geology of Nevada (GEOL 201), a class that is only offered once every two years.
“We will be studying the history of Nevada through geologic time and will spend a lot of time looking at and identifying rocks, minerals, and fossils from all over Nevada,” Dr. Kortemeier said.
In addition, class members will have the opportunity to take up to four field trips.
“It is such an unusual opportunity to be able to go on so many field trips,” Dr. Kortemeier said. "Most students say that seeing rocks and processes 'in the wild' are the best parts of the class.”
The class will meet from 1 to 3:45 p.m. on Tuesdays.
