Summary

I'm a Geology graduate that recently graduated for Nortern Illinois University. I was many taught many things in Geology like building a strait column of the flat iron formations in Wiscousin. From Crazy Woman Creek drove 118.4 miles to Devils Tower to describe the minerals of the region and all the groups contributed 25% of results and compared and contrasred our descriptions. I also used adobe Illustrator to craft Cross Sections beforehand we measured Strike and Dip to help before constructing the cross section. In field camp we also traveled along a syncline to construction of the geologic map of the area and compared cross sections for intrepration of the interior. I field camp as a group actvity we constructed a contour map. Also, Build with a group a Geologic map of the Black Hills uplift. I'm looking for a Geology or Environmental job to get my foot in the door and gain more expierence and mastery of skills asscoiated with making geologic maps.
