Field Trips

Keeping to the “Reaching New Peaks in Geoscience” meeting theme, the Denver 2010 field trips highlight glaciation, late Cenozoic evolution of the Colorado Rockies, and a spectrum of geologic terrains, ranging from mountain uplift to landscape collapse to structural influences on mineralization. Trips will also address societal challenges, including climate change and geologic hazards. Excellent geologic exposures in the Colorado Rockies region will emphasize how tectonism, volcanism, landslides, tectonic collapse, mineralization, and dinosaurs have shaped this region and now influence hazards, resources, and human habitation. Meet with colleagues, old and new, bring the family, or even ride your mountain bike on either a local afternoon trip or a four day regional adventure (or both!).
