The Geologic History of the Susquehanna River
Course | Registration opens 2/1/2027 8:00 AM EST
The Susquehanna River is considered one of the oldest rivers in the world. Experts have said "that the landscape has developed around the river." Just how old the river is will be disclosed in this course. The river also played a role in the end of the Ice Age some 8,000 years ago and the evidence is still found in the river hills on either side of the river. Did you know the Susquehanna River is the steepest river from Harrisburg to the Chesapeake Bay in the world?

Jeri Jones has studied earth and space science since he was a teenager. He almost majored in astronomy until he encountered a problem. The college he went to didn't have a major in that field, so he picked geology. But Catawba College did have a great observatory in which Jones learned to operate and host their public programs.
