Geo - Engineering the Planet
Geological Engineering
Are you interested in how we can better understand the behavior of earth processes? Geological engineers work to understand the impacts that geologic processes have on human interaction with our planet. This includes the topics of slope stability, designing engineered structures in rock, identifying groundwater sources, and mitigating against groundwater contamination, evaluating surface water flow and evaluating the risk of flooding, and other engineering topics related to geology and natural processes.
This camp will expose students to how geological engineers utilize field observations to ensure that humans interact with our planet in a positive way. Activities will include stream gaging, a groundwater pumping test, field trips to local geologic points of interest, and a trip to a local rock mechanics laboratory.
