Geology at Kent Stark

Dr. Schweitzer's Geology Pages at Kent State University at Stark

Environmental Geology Course Description

This course is designed to introduce students to basic geologic principles and to examine their application to environmental problems. Topics relevant to students in their every day lives and to Ohio will be the primary focus, but other global issues will be studied in detail as well. For example, coastal erosion will be discussed, referring to the Lake Erie coastline of Ohio and to coastal areas worldwide. Some other included topics with current relevance include the deterioration of the ozone layer, ground water pollution, alternative fuel sources, and disposal of toxic wastes.
