The New England/Rhode Island/Alaska Connection is GLACIAL!


ID : 1832   

« back to classes page
A common geologic principle holds that “the present is the key to the past”, i.e. by understanding processes operating today, we can better interpret ancient history. To understand how glaciation affected the New England/Rhode Island landscape, we can look to geological processes and landforms of present-day Alaska, comparing these newer landscapes with the older glacial features of New England and of Rhode Island. In these three classes we will explore the glacial history of these areas, learn about glacial forms, processes and motion, ending with a field trip to sites in South Kingstown and Narragansett areas.
