2002 RESULTS: FIELD METHODS IN NEOTECTONICS AND PALEOSEISMOLOGY (May 28-June 9, 2002)

For 2 weeks in June, a mixture of university graduate students, government geologists, and consultants attended the 2nd annual offering of the Field Course in Neotectonics and Paleoseismology. Here are a few glimpses of our activities.

 

 

At sunset, the place to be is on the CSC roof. Instructor Jim McCalpin (CSC) points to Patty Craw (Alaska Division of Geology & Geophysics), who displays her ambidextrous abilities.

On their day off, some attendees preferred to escape into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains (that is, the horst bounded by the Sangre de Cristo fault). From left to right, Yoshihiro Uemura, Patty Craw (hamming it up again), and Bill Lund (Utah Geological Survey). Photo courtesy of Bill Lund.
