The Marine Geology and Geophysics Field Course returned to Port Aransas this year to study the geologic history of Corpus Christi Bay, Aransas Bay, and surrounding waters. Students traveled from Laguna Madre in the south to the mouth of the Mission River in the north to collect geophysical, sedimentological and aerial data.
