Description
One of the most enjoyable things about being at the beach in the summer is the acres and acres of sand. We love to wiggle our toes in it, build castles out of it, and dig for clams in it. But as calm and simple as a sandy beach may appear, it actually is a dynamic environment that is the result of a long and complex geologic history. In this class, we will explore the different geologic processes that form, shape, and in some cases destroy the beach environment to develop a new appreciation of this iconic summer vacation destination. Bring your favorite beach memories, and find out the role of geology has played in helping you make them.
