The labs in Introduction to Geology for Non-Majors Lab Manual have a different focus that a traditional introduction to geology: instead of training future geoscientists, they are specifically designed to enable students to see how many aspects of geology—and science in general—impact everyone in everyday life, even in ways that you may not have thought about. Of course, along the way, you will still learn many basic principles of geology (which are necessary to understand why they affect you).

Introduction to Geology for Non-Majors Lab Manual:


includes computer-based exercises; which may seem a strange thing to do in a geology course, but they are specifically designed to teach students how to learn outside of class.
has a Utah-based focus, and if you do not live there, it constitutes a terrific "classroom" to use as a basis for many of the questions in this manual.
complements an introductory geology lecture course which means the exercises herein are not preceded by lengthy, textbook-style explanations of the material.
