Some students enrolled in the Earth Sciences bachelor degree program at Penn State DuBois recently had the chance to see much of their classroom learning brought to life. During a weekend fieldtrip to Pennsylvania's Valley Ridge Region, Instructor in Earth Sciences Patrick Applegate introduced students to real-world examples of geological phenomena that tell the story of Earth's history. The students participated in the trip as part of their class on geomorphology, which is a science devoted to learning the history of the planet by studying areas on, or close to, the surface.
