Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course accompanies The Modoc Plateau lecture course and represents laboratory and field activities associated with the Modoc Plateau of northeastern California, including a three-day, overnight field trip. This course supports the goal of understanding the geology and geologic history of the Modoc region with a focus on volcanic processes and regional faulting, as well as climatologic qualities as they converge to define high desert to near-tree line biomes. Field sites across the region demonstrate these relationships, and lab sessions prior to the trip will focus on the application of the lecture portion concepts. Field exercises will be conducted at various stops. (CSU transferable)
