The Hydrology, Geology and Soils of Georgia

A field course to study the physical environment of Georgia
We explore the diverse geology, soils, and surface and subsurface hydrologic processes within the state.
We travel to all of the physiographic areas of the state, including the Upper and Lower Atlantic Coastal Plain, the Dougherty Plain of Southwest Georgia, the Upper and Lower Piedmont, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Ridge and Valley Provinces of North Georgia.
We visit mines, farms, forests, wetlands, rivers, lakes, and estuaries to understand the interactions between human activities and the environment.
