The class will cover the geological history of Earth, how plate tectonics work, the formation of Maine, our local rocks, and glacial impact on our local surface area. There are three classroom sessions, plus one field trip to explore the geology of the Pemaquid Region. The field trip is scheduled for Saturday, October 17th. It is recommended that you purchase the book – Geology of the Pemaquid Region Mid-Coast Maine by David M Pope (2015), prior to attending class. . After retirement from flying helicopters for the Army, Pete Streker went back to school dual majoring in education and geology. Eventually he earned a Masters of Education for Earth Sciences.
