A Week as a Student
Your Environmental Geology lecture begins, delving into plate tectonics and basic rock formation. Later, you visit your TA's office hours to clarify a complex reading on aquifer depletion and groundwater contamination. The discussion is helpful, making a difficult concept click. Afterward, you head to the campus gym for a quick workout, clearing your head before diving into tonight's assigned reading on land degradation for your Resource Management class.
