Abstract

Teachers of sediment-related geology courses should consider taking their classes on field trips to exposed reservoir bottoms. A wonderful variety of fluvial, deltaic, and lacustrine features and processes can be observed there. A visit to a modern sedimentary environment such as a reservoir bottom gives students important personal experience that they can draw on when learning to interpret sedimentary rocks using the principle of uniformitarianism. It can also inspire investigation of a range of related geological and environmental issues.
