Welcome to the website for my course
on Cincinnati geology. This website is a gateway to other pages
and sites that provide abundant detail on the fascinating diversity of
geology of the Tri-state area, including much information on geologic
hazards. The section entitled "Papers" has some longer,
more formal presentations on local geology. "Data" has
some useful databases. "Illustrations" is a photo collection
of important features. Each index page has a group of thumbnail
images. Click on the thumbnail to bring up the full-scale image.
Finally there is a collection of links to other sites that contain useful
information about geology, architecture, and hazards.
