"The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand"

How nice that you made it to this Daily Field Note! It is already the 157th edition where we put great posts from the last day(s) in the spotlight. This way you can easily find articles worth reading and authors get more of the exposure they deserve.>/p>
Geopolis is a community that promotes and connects people who are interested in fields of "global" sciences. These are the sciences that deal with planet earth and the interesting interactions taking place on it. Although just as fascinating, they do not always fit in the categories of "STEM". Here at Geopolis they are the corner stone of the community.
How to get your post in this selection? You do not have to be a member for your post to get featured in the Daily Field Notes. Just write your post with the #geopolis tag, or one of the other featured tags: #Geography - #Geology - #Ecology - #Archeology - #Anthropology - #History
Geology: Urban Geology Part 1: Manhattan
Original post by @mountainwashere
The character of any city will to a great degree be shaped by its underlying geology. Chicago's even, straight grid is possible thanks to its flat terrain. San Francisco's steep hills underlie much of its mystique. London's relationship with the Thames has driven so much of its history. New York has an especially fascinating geology, which shouldn't be a surprise. New York doesn't do boring, ever. (We're going to be focusing primarily on Manhattan's geology, since New York's geology in general is way too much for a single article.)
