课程名称：路边地质学 课程概述：本课程通过Google地图提供路线安排，并以幻灯片和视频的形式展示沿途的现场地质。在第一部分中，我们将从拉斯维加斯出发，进行一次穿越大死亡谷地区的公路旅行。根据时间和燃油或太阳能电动车的限制，我计划增加关于大峡谷、锡安国家公园和布莱斯国家公园的内容，以及我曾居住的其他州的公路旅行。课程将地质学置于区域已知地质历史的背景之中，讲解各地质特征形成的板块构造背景以及出露岩石的“岩石记录”。同时，我们将利用可用文献和谷歌地球地图介绍相关背景概念。课程还将探讨该地区的人类历史，包括因采矿繁荣与崩溃而形成的鬼镇、环境对人类土地利用的影响（特别是水资源的可用性）以及常用这些地标的流行文化。地质学是你可以亲自验证的科学，如果你知道如何观察，很多激动人心、引人入胜的壮观地点就在你眼前，沿着公路而行。本课程无疑会加强你在地质学101中可能已经学到的概念。如果你没有学过，也不用担心，我会提供相关的概念和地质文献中的解释。
In this ongoing course I provide itineraries on Google Maps and deliver slide and video presentations on the field geology along the route. In the first installment, we set out from Las Vegas on a road trip through the greater Death Valley region. Time and gasoline or solar-electric car permitting, I plan to add sections on the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce National Parks, as well as road trips in other states where I have lived. The geology is explained in the context of the known geologic history of the area, including the plate tectonic setting of the features that formed as well as the "rock record" available in outcrop. Background concepts are presented using available literature and Google Earth maps. We look at the human history of the areas as well, including ghost towns from the boom and crash economy of mining, the role of the environment on human land use, particularly with respects to water availability, and the popular culture that often used these landmarks. Geology is a science you can verify with your own eyes, and some of the most inspiring, intriguing, and awesome locations are right before your eyes, on the roadside, if you know what you're looking for. The course will definitely reinforce concepts you may have already learned in Geology 101, if you had one. If not, don't worry, I will provide the concepts and explanations from the geologic literature.
