Hands On Geography: The last weekend of
April, students in ESC 222 took a
little closer look into some of the geologic features
they've been studying this semester with a field trip to
the UW Field Station at Pigeon Lake, just west of
Drummond. The field station was used as a base to
explore landforms created from various fluvial
and glacial processes. The field experience lab was
organized by Dr. Perroy and accompanied
by Dr. Belby. Click the picture to see
