GOLD Workshop
Presented by Charles (Chip) Matthews, Director of College Union and Activities, this exciting workshop is part of Geneseo Opportunities for Leadership Development (GOLD), a program preparing students for leadership roles and responsibilities in service to the college and the global community.
Wave Tank and Flume Demonstration
A wave tank is a giant sand box that holds sand, water, and a wave generator. Shoreline models are constructed to observe the effects of wave action on natural and man-made features. In the demonstration several erosion control features will be constructed to demonstrate the effect of rising sea level and wave action on home sites and other engineered structures.
The flume is a model stream where experiments are conducted to observe the effects of water depth and velocity on sediment in the stream bed. In the Geneseo flume, velocity, gradient, water depth, and sediment grain volume and size can be manipulated. In this demonstration bed forms will be produced - the glass sides of the flume allow individual grains to be observed and the interaction of grains and current to be determined. Tours will run every 15 minutes. (Saturday, 1:00-3:00pm, Integrated Science Center - Room 20)
