"Rutgers University is located in an area of diverse geology. Precambrian Highlands, the Paleozoic fold and thrust belt of the Appalachians, the Mesozoic Newark rift basin, and the Mesozoic-Cenozoic coastal plain are all represented in New Jersey . Field trips take advantage of the local geology, as do many NJ-based research projects . In addition, current research projects span the globe : members of our Department have recently conducted research in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, Central America, Europe, Iceland, Africa, and Antarctica on a wide variety of topics ranging from microfaults to mid-oceanic ridges to meteorites."
