| Each fall semester, as an optional assignment, students in my oceanography (GEG040) and physical geography (GEG010) courses may choose to go on a field trip to the Marine Science Consortium educational facilities. This is a three-day field trip; it focuses on processes that govern the geography of coastal and marine environments. The Consortium is composed primarily of universities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. |
| Location:
The Consortium's educational facilities are on the Delmarva Peninusula,
five miles south of the Maryland-Virginia border, next to to the Wallops
Island NASA space flight facility. The Chesapeake Bay is west of
and the Atlantic Ocean east of the Consortium.
