From the introduction: "This field trip is designed to expose the field trip participant to a variety of geologic terranes: 1) Bedrock, including genesis, age relationships, petrology, and structural features 2) Surficial geology, including diamicton, glaciomarine sediments, raised beaches 3) Hydrogeology, including distribution of well yields and depths, water quality, and controlling bedrock fracture systems 4) Marine geology, including beach material size sorting, spit and bar development, and effects of sea level rise on 19th century fishing shacks 5) Surface water hydrology, particularly the role of extensive bogs in moderating runoff and sustaining groundwater recharge"
