Build 21st century skills with new 3D media experiences

Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology offers an inquiry and activities-based approach that builds skills and gives students a complete learning experience in the lab. This user-friendly lab manual examines the basic processes of geology and their applications to everyday life, featuring an exceptional illustration program by Dennis Tasa and contributions from over 200 highly regarded geologists and geoscience educators. 

 

With the 12th Edition, lead author Vince Cronin and the newly formed NAGT editorial panel deliver the latest data and science, including new climate/environmental change and hazards/disasters lab activities.

 

Personalize learning with Modified Mastering Geology 

By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, Mastering personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student. Mastering Geology extends learning and provides students with a platform to practice, learn, and apply knowledge outside of the classroom.






You are purchasing an access card only. Before purchasing, check with your instructor to confirm the correct ISBN. Several versions of the MyLab™ and Mastering™ platforms exist for each title, and registrations are not transferable. To register for and use MyLab or Mastering, you may also need a Course ID, which your instructor will provide.

 

If purchasing or renting from companies other than Pearson, the access codes for the Mastering platform may not be included, may be incorrect, or may be previously redeemed. Check with the seller before completing your purchase.

About our author Vince Cronin is an award-winning geoscience educator who has served as a teaching assistant, teacher, or laboratory coordinator for introductory physical geology courses taught at several private and public colleges and universities since 1978. Dr. Cronin is currently Professor of Geosciences at Baylor University and is a licensed and certified professional geologist whose experience in applied and academic geology is quite broad. His research has included plate kinematics, crustal deformation, active faulting, clastic stratigraphy, topics in engineering geoscience, and geoethics.
