Teacher Resources:

    Hi, my name is Corey Coutu and I am a graduate student in the Geology Department of the University of Vermont, working with Professor Char Mehrtens.  Geology can be a complex subject to understand, and this section presents resources that may be helpful in understanding the geological background to the evolutionary concepts presented in this site.  Below are a number of links designed to facilitate a deeper understanding of how the study of geology and evolution can walk hand in hand.
