We have just finished the first week of the Field School’s geology module, taught by Dr. Chris Lepre of Rutgers University. Studying geology means lots of time spent out in the field and the students began with a lab exercise examining local stratigraphy (rock layers).
TBI-Turkwel sits on the Nachukui Formation, famous for its rich archaeological and paleoanthropological sites. Students traveled just outside the compound to explore and draw stratigraphic profiles.
