Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory

12 Aug, 09 AM - 18 Aug, 02 AM

The general purpose of the Geology 419: FIST (Field Investigations for Science Teachers) is to involve 4-12th grade teachers in a field experience in the geological sciences that will 1) improve their real world (field) knowledge of the geological sciences (Carlson and Saint) and 2) to provide in-the-field training by experienced teacher-leaders (5 teacher/leaders) that will translate these investigations into activities that can be used in 4-12 grade classrooms. Geology 419 will focus on a hydrological/hydrogeological investigation of the Mammoth Lakes area including the water flowing from the mountainous region above Mammoth Lakes and its surface and sub-surface flow down to the region near the fish hatchery and then on to Lake Crowley. We will also explore the hydrology in the region of Mono Lake and Yosemite (spend one night---Aug. l5--in Yosemite) and then return to SNARL on the evenings of the l6th and l7th. Investigations in the field will utilize stream gauging instruments and map interpretations. We will not disturb or destroy any natural resources in the SNARL reserve. Any activity/investigation done on the reserve will be directed by Dr. Prem Saint (Ph.D. in Hydrology) who is well acquainted with the reserve and the constraints by its visitors.
