Field trips galore...

this weekend:
  • On Saturday, I am leading my ENVS 393 seminar group on a tour of the Rathdrum Prairie - Spokane Valley aquifer, examining various features and issues related to this important sole source groundwater resource. Dr. Nezat is accompanying the group and we'll engage in some comparative water chemistry (Spokane River vs. groundwater) during the outing.
  • Also on Saturday, Dr. Thomson and Mr. Strout are traveling to the Clarkia fossil beds in Idaho with GEOL 307 students and geology club members.
  • Dr. McCollum is leading a field excursion for her GEOL 496 field mapping class on Sunday.
This is what drew me to geology -- the field experiences. And the weather couldn't be better.

  2. Yep, and I'd join 'em if I didn't have a consulting project to finish by Monday. Dang.
