Description

We depart from San Angelo in West Texas for four big geologic mapping projects in Big Bend Ranch State Park, northern New Mexico, and southern Colorado. We will map diverse rock types and structures as we make a transect across the North American Cordillera, including the active Rio Grande Rift. Our field camp emphasizes the challenge and fun of solving geological puzzles while describing rock types, making geologic maps, constructing cross-sections, and measuring structures. We will stay in cabins, a small motel, and camp out. We seek five to seven more students to join our seven Angelo State students to embark on our seventh field camp.
