The geological record of environmental change - for iPod/iPhone: Recent Episodes
The Open University
This series of tracks looks at evidence of geological change in the field. Using examples in the UK and the USA they examine how geologists can map past activity from geological evidence.
Material is taken from The Open University course S369 The geological record of environmental change.
