Earth Science Summer Bridge Program (GEO 2950)

As of Summer 2023 this course is not being offered. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to be able to bring it, or an equivalent, back in the future.

If you have questions or are interested in supporting the future of this effort please reach out to Elizabeth Balgord, program director.

Thank you.

This is a 2-week summer course. This class is part of a program designed to get you excited about various science fields and introduce you to Earth Sciences. We hope to meet you wherever you are in your academic career, so it is just fine if you have not taken an Earth Science class before. We want you to feel at home on the Weber State University campus, in the College of Science, and within the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences. Our goal is not to convince you to become Earth scientists, but to empower you to go into whatever field excites you with the tools to succeed and have some fun along the way. We hope that you will use us (faculty and student mentors) as resources in the future, no matter where you decide to go.
 
In this course, you will work with your classmates to collect and run water samples from the Weber State area and from Antelope Island. You will learn about how the geologic history of northern Utah and our local climate control the quality and quantity of water in the Great Salt Lake basin.
