SVSM 2004 - Coastal Geology
	Students in this course conduct geological and sedimentological field studies along the beaches, islands, lagoons, channels, and tidal creeks in New Hanover County . Measurement and analysis of physical and chemical characteristics of coastal environments are combined with field and laboratory studies of the materials and geologic and environmental processes that produce the unique environment of the Atlantic coastline in the southeastern United States . Students observe and discuss processes characteristic of barrier islands and inshore waters, while learning pertinent techniques such as air photo/map interpretation, surveying, profiling, sediment and water sample collection and analysis techniques, biological collecting techniques, and statistical analyses.
