Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York City metro region contains vast resources of cultural and historical treasures. Not only do areas such as the New York Botanical Gardens or the Cloisters offer cultural resources but also geological wonders. Now, Geology of the NYC Metro Region offers more than 75 field sites that explore this rich physical environment. All of the sites are within a 2-hour radius of NYC and many include beaches, waterfalls, gorges and mountain vistas. All can be walked or hiked during a day or a weekend trip.This comprehensive guide provides basic information on the natural history and geologic features of the greater NYC metro area. Over 200 color illustrations (including 70 thematic maps) make this an invaluable resource for exploring the physical environment. Beginning with a basic chapter on geology, the authors provide practical information without the scientific jargon that often thwarts readers. Each chapter provides an overview of geologic history as well as the physical characteristics of the landscape. All sites described are based on accessibility and geologic significance. For example, a walk through Central Park will reveal rocks that date from over 400 million years ago.No other single publication contains the details of the specific sites described in Geology of NYC Metro Region. Whether you are interested in geology or just looking for a rewarding way to spend your day, this is the perfect guide for exploring the classic geology of the New York City metro region.

This field trip enables delegates attending the Twenty-eighth International Geological Congress to spend several days in the largest city in the United States. Local geologists have designed day-long field trips to acquaint participants with the complex geology of the New York city metropolitan region. The papers included in this book will serve as guides to the planned trips but may not necessarily follow the order in which the trips will be scheduled.

Download or read book The Geology of New York and New Jersey written by J. Bret Bennington and published by Thomson Custom Pub. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over one-and-a-half billion years of geologic history are recorded in the landforms and rocks found within 100 kilometers of New York City, revealing multiple episodes of plate collision and orogeny, continental rifting, volcanism, and an ever-changing tableau of environments from tropical seas to glaciated landscapes. This module explains how geologists read the evidence preserved in regional geology to come to an understanding of the geologic events that have shaped the eastern continental margin of North America, and also discusses the economic resources and geohazards of the New York ? New Jersey metropolitan region. Coverage extends from western Connecticut to southern New Jersey and spans the Atlantic Coastal Plain westward across the metamorphic Piedmont provinces, Newark Basin, Proterozoic Highlands, Appalachian Fold Belt, and Paleozoic Plateau regions. Written to illustrate basic concepts of plate tectonics and rock formation presented in introductory geology and physical geography courses, the Geology of New York and New Jersey is appropriate for courses aimed at both majors and non-majors where discussion of the geologic history of the northeast will make the course content more regionally relevant for the students. The series can be bound into any Thomson Brooks/Cole text to create a more compelling regional edition to help you highlight relevant material.
