Introductory Physical Geology Laboratory Manual, 1st Canadian edition (v.3, January 2020)

Abstract

Welcome! Our vision for this project was to create a Canadian introductory physical geology lab manual that is more accessible and affordable for our first-year physical geology students. Since this is an open text, we can also update or modify it quickly to integrate improvements. At the University of Saskatchewan, in addition to our first-year course in physical geology that includes a lab, we offer an introductory physical geology course that does not have a lab component (primarily as a science elective for arts students). Our hope is this manual can be useful to these students too, offering them self-directed hands-on practice with geoscience problems and supplementary text resources.
