The geologic histories of the Taconic Fold/Trust Belt, the Cambro-Ordovician Platform, the Adirondack massif of eastern New York and western Vermont, and the Main coastal volcanic province are reasonably well-understood. In fact, this area has served as a foundation for the development of ideas relating plate tectonic processes to the growth of mountain belts (e.g. Rogers, 1968; Zen, 1971; Bird and Dewey, 1971). While the general geologic history and major processes are known, there remain many second- order problems which require resolution. This proposal presents a number of geological research projects which are both tractable to undergraduate juniors and seniors and are of significance in refining our understanding of the region. We will also offer students the opportunity to work on problems related to aqueous geochemistry, clay mineralogy, paleontology and geomorphology. All proposed summer projects will be supervised by faculty at Colgate University, with additional fall-semester follow-up independent course work available at cooperating institutions.

塔科尼科褶皱/信任带的地质历史， 寒武-奥陶纪地台，新大陆东部的阿迪朗达克山脉 约克和佛蒙特州西部，以及主要的沿海火山区 都被合理地理解了。 事实上，这一地区已经成为 板块构造理论发展的基础 过程的增长山区带（例如罗杰斯，1968年; Zen，1971; Bird and Dewey，1971）. 虽然一般的地质 历史和主要过程是已知的，但仍有许多第二- 需要解决的问题。 该提案提出 一批地质研究项目， 对本科三年级和四年级学生来说， 加深我们对该地区的了解。 我们还将提供 学生有机会从事与水有关的问题 地球化学、粘土矿物学、古生物学和地貌学。 所有拟议的暑期项目将由教师监督， 科尔盖特大学，秋季学期额外跟进 在合作机构提供独立的课程。
