GLG103- Introduction to Geology I, Physical Geology Lab Manual

Welcome! Although we will be providing lab manuals to students registered for GLG103, these lab exercises may be downloaded in the event that a student's manual is lost or stolen. Additionally, color illustrations are embedded in these files should students wish to embellish the B&W illustrations in the bound lab manuals.
 
We strongly recommend organizing your lab exercises using a binder or similar so that you will have them to study for any open lab manual exams and the final exam. The front and rear covers contain useful information and should be included in your organized lab binder. The entire manual contains 200 pages (100 double sided pages).
 
Only students registered in GLG103 will have access to lab manual exercises.. You will need your MEID account information (login name and password) to download these files.
 
If you are off campus, your computer will need a PDF reader to read or print these files.

Note: Some files may require using the "Print as Image" command from your PDF browser to get the correct number of pages shown below. Please print double-sided pages if at all possible.
