Along with the field activities, we intersperse several day-long field trips to locations in the Blue Ridge physiographic province, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and Mammoth Cave National Park. The intent of the field trips is to examine the geologic features that comprise the bedrock and to gain insights into some of the geologic controls on the hydrogeologic framework.
The exact sites vary each year, but we typically visit the following:
Large joint in Whiteside trondhjemite at Granite City
Wetland treatment system at the UT dairy farm
