Well, here we go. My first blog post.
My name is Ana and as the title implies, this is not something I
particularly wanted to do but needed to do as an assignment…so if there is
something here you do not like, well, blame it on John.
I am currently teaching two classes (Physical Geology) at Monterey Peninsula College. I
will try to share with you different aspects of my classes, field
trips, current geological events, how to connect people to Geology and hopefully show you that geology is
cool!
I, of course, have told my students about this summer blog and
they are more excited about it than I am…go figure!
Last Tuesday we went to Fort Ord Dunes State Park to learn about sand and coastal
erosion. In the Marina area, we are losing almost 1 meter per year, and at that
rate, we calculated the Pacific Ocean will reach Hwy 1 in about 500 years!!
Most students enjoyed the outdoors and despite the windy cool day, they did
have a blast…we even tried a selfie…although we decided my arms are too short!!
I found a nice link that you should check out if you want more
information about the Fort Ord area: Discoverthe
coast @ Fort Ord.
All for now-
Hi Ana
ReplyDeleteGreat intro. I'll take the blame. I hope you enjoy blogging and can thank me later instead :-). It's great that you're sharing this with your students. I look forward to reading your posts. And I'm jealous about your field trips! Can I go?
