Open-Air Studies in Geology is a book written by Grenville Arthur James Cole and originally published in 1902. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of geology in the field, specifically focusing on the techniques and methods used in outdoor geology studies. The book is divided into several sections, each covering a different aspect of geology.
