Geology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

Hello, class. I think you know the routine by now--coffee and snacks are near the back, along with the roll sheet.

Today, we will be discussing geologic ramifications.

As primarily a geologic framework study the end result is to understand how this inner shelf and coastal system evolved over the middle to late Holocene and to identify the primary geologic forces active during that period of time. Revealing the distribution of sand bodies, their morphology, and sediment type was a primary goal and this information can be used to pick sites for sand renourishment of beaches. Also, the identification of hardbottom areas and extent of benthic communities is important information to choose areas for dumping dredge spoil as well as to identify habitat for fish and to locate recreational sites for fishing and diving. The distribution of sand and hardbottom areas can also be used by commercial fisherman to guide them in their activities. The seismic data allows groundwater geologists to better define the hydrostratigraphy that would lead to a better understanding of regional groundwater uses.

Lee takes excellent notes!

Angela takes a seat. She looks much better rested than some of her clasmates.

It's obvious that Phoebe was up very late. She has her hair pulled back in a ponytail and she signs in and starts taking very detailed notes.

Rose signs in, takes a seat, and begins to take notes.

Thomasina arrives for the lesson on time, signs the roll sheet, takes a seat next to Rose and settles in to take notes.

Connor sits next to Sawyer because, you know. Lab partners and all. And because he hasn't really talked to anyone else in the class, and even though he's really not sure what to make of Sawyer, at east it's someone he knows.

His handwriting is nearly as sloppy as Sawyer's, but sinc ehe's the only one who has to read his notes, he isn't overly concerned about it.

Han signs in, and takes his notes, stumbling over very big words like morphology and hydrostratigraphy.

Draco signs the roll sheet and grabs some coffee. He begins taking notes, occasionally stopping mid-sentence to daydream.


((Mmmm coffee...I think I shall go get some.))

Rory signs in and sits next to Draco. She looks much better-rested than would be expected, but keeps tapping her pencil anxiously against her nose.

"My, someone is eager to learn their geology this morning." says Draco with a smile.

"Uh huh. I am simply fascinated by...whatever it is we're learning today," Rory replies, smiling.

Edward slinks in, looking not-too-well, grabs some coffee, and puddles into a seat to take notes.

Willow signs in and sits down. She looks pensive, and takes notes fairly automatically. She doodles hearts and flowers in the margins of her notebook.

Bridge wanders in, two minutes late, and attempts to take his seat while causing a minimum amount of disruption.
