Geology of NYBG


Explore the geology of New York City as you study various rock types and gain an understanding of their significance against the backdrop of plate tectonic theory. Led by two active field researchers, you'll visit outcrops within NYBG's 250 acres that best illustrate the complex bedrock and glacial geology of the grounds. Through this field excursion and classroom lecture and lab experience, you'll learn ways to properly evaluate modern interpretations of the geological structure, tectonics, glacial history, and neotectonics (seismicity) of the NYC area.
