July 19 - 21, 2010
Denali's dramatic landscape has been sculpted and scoured by glaciers, rivers, landslides, tectonics, and climate. Join National Park Service Geologist Phil Brease and Education Specialist Kristen Friesen for an introductory course on Denali's geology. The group will spend days hiking on slopes and ridges learning how geologists study the Earth to uncover the historical story of the landscape around us. They will also investigate the recent discoveries of dinosaur footprints in Denali and discuss the impact these discoveries may have on our understanding of the world we live in today. Throughout the course, participants will brainstorm ways to implement this information in their teaching while sharing geology resources and activities for students in Kindergarten through twelfth grade.
Participants will stay at a field camp located 29 miles inside Denali National Park along the Teklanika River and all meals, accommodations, transportation, instruction and one professional development credit through the University of Alaska Anchorage are included in the fee. The course is limited to 9 participants.
