Introduction to Idaho Geology Web Course The "Digital Geology of Idaho" systematically divides Idaho geology into individual teaching modules. The modules correspond with a 15-week Geology of Idaho course (Geology 456-556 for 2 credits). Modules can serve as a source of information, reference, maps and photographs of Idaho geology. The Digital Atlas of Idaho is a resource that also contains exercises for K-12 teachers. A New Idaho Geologic Map Another component of this project was preparation of a new Geologic Map of Idaho by the Idaho Geological Survey. The map on the left is a simplified version of this new geologic map. Each of the modules on this web site contain derivative geologic maps showing specific map units. The new Geologic Map of Idaho can be purchased for the Idaho Geological Survey. Fly-throughs Most modules have multiple digital watershed fly-through visualizations where geology has been "draped" over topography to provide a graphic visualization of the geology along Idaho river basins. Bonneville Flood Visualizations Module 14, "Lake Bonneville Flood", has extensive visualizations created by Dr. Shuhab Khan and his students at the University of Houston. "Idaho from the Air" pdf slideshow is a compilation of aerial photos taken by Paul Link. They give a unique perspective of the Idaho landscape. The geologic provinces of Idaho are briefly summarized in the table below. A geologic time scale is included to help with the perspective of the great amount of time that geologic history spans. Geologic Overview of Idaho Idaho has a complicated geologic history, which is reflected in its physical geography. The shaded relief map of Idaho shows the mountain ranges, and the major cities to give an idea of how the state is subdivided by its geography.

Introduction to Idaho Geology Web Course The "Digital Geology of Idaho" systematically divides Idaho geology into individual teaching
modules. The modules correspond with a 15-week Geology of Idaho course (Geology 456-556 for 2 credits). Modules can serve as a source of information, reference, maps and photographs of Idaho geology.
The Digital Atlas of Idaho is a resource that also contains exercises for K-12 teachers.
A New Idaho Geologic Map Another component of this project was preparation of a new Geologic Map of Idaho by the
Idaho Geological Survey. The map on the left is a simplified version of this new geologic map. Each of the modules on this web site contain derivative geologic maps showing specific map units. The new Geologic Map of Idaho can be purchased for the Idaho Geological Survey.
Fly-throughs Most modules have multiple digital watershed fly-through visualizations where geology has
been "draped" over topography to provide a graphic visualization of the geology along Idaho river basins.
Bonneville Flood Visualizations Module 14, "Lake Bonneville Flood", has extensive visualizations created by Dr. Shuhab Khan
and his students at the University of Houston.
"Idaho from the Air" pdf slideshow is a compilation of aerial photos taken by Paul Link. They
give a unique perspective of the Idaho landscape.
The geologic provinces of Idaho are briefly summarized in the table below. A geologic time scale is included to help with the perspective of the great amount of time that geologic history spans.
Geologic Overview of Idaho Idaho has a complicated geologic history, which is reflected in its physical geography. The
shaded relief map of Idaho shows the mountain ranges, and the major cities to give an idea of how the state is subdivided by its geography.
Specific research papers and field trip guides are listed with each module. Some resources recommended to accompany the Idaho Geology course are listed below. Many are included as pdf files throughout the website.
