This tour offers continuing education units (CEUs) for educators and professionals.
Please note that seating capacity for this tour is limited to 30 participants on a first come, first served basis.
The Northern Guam Lens Aquifer Tour takes you to four sites, each of which is an example of the four basic components of the Northern Guam Lens Aquifer. Before embarking on the fieldtrip to these sites, the tour begins with a virtual tour of the NGLA, which is a computer graphics 3D model of the hydrology of Guam. During the field trip experience, we observe and discuss the geological features that form the aquifer components and the hydrological properties that allow water to flow through.
