Earth Science Week

2001 Gallery - Vermont Geologic Resources: What We Use in Our Everyday Lives

The Perkins Museum at University of Vermont, in conjunction with the Vermont Geological Society and the Vermont Geological Survey, sponsored the annual Earth Science Week Poster Contests in 1998-2002. Here's a sampling of some great posters by Vermont students in 2001 for the theme "Vermont Geologic Resources: What We Use in Our Everyday Lives".

Nearly 1000 people participated in organized Earth Science Week activities in 2001. People visited and hiked with the Geologists-in-the-Parks, entered the poster contest, toured Fleming Museum and Perkins Museum on the UVM campus, attended OMYA's Open House at the Middlebury Quarry, and attended lectures at VINS and at ANR in Waterbury. Below are some photographs from the week.
