Drs. Mickus and Gouzie, and Damon Bassett led the annual GLG 360 field trip to the California. Molly Starkey did a great job in organizing most of the trip. The trip included 26 students and we traveled throughout the southern and central California and portions of southern Nevada and NW Arizona studying in a wide variety of geological, tectonic, environmental, petroleum and mining features. Highlights included Death Valley National Monument, Carrizo Plains National Monument, the San Andreas Fault, Oil fields in the San Joaquim Basin, Parkfield, Amboy Crater in the Mojave National Preserve, Morro Bay, Rainbow Basin, Barite Mines, Coastal features north of Santa Barbara, and Hoover Dam.
Some of the sights we saw are shown on the following 4 pages. Pictures were obtained from everybody on the fieldtrip.
