night we will camp at Johnson's in St Mary on the east side of Glacier
Park. Sunday we do day hikes in Glacier and return to Missoula by about
midnight.
- The trip focusses
on the structural and stratigraphic evolution of the Belt Basin and
the Rocky Mountains. The first day we will study the Rogers Pass area
of the Rocky Mountain front, and the foreland basin near Augusta and
Choteau. The second day we will hike to Appekunny Falls in Galcier Park
to examine the stromatolitic Altyn Dolomite of the basal Belt Supergroup,
then hike into a number of sites along Going-to-the-Sun Road.
- Organizational
meeting is Thursday, Sept 16, at 1 pm in SC 304. Sign up sheet

The Spring
Break Field Trip: March 13-22, 1998
- Don Winston is
going to lead the spring-break field trip to the Colorado Plateau. Much
of the trip will be spent around Moab and CanyonLands National Park.
Field trips
planned for March 14-25, 1997
- Participate in
a field trip with Don Winston and Marc Hendrix to Central California.
We're hoping this doesn't result in the same food poisoning problems
that highlighted a trip to Mexico a couple years back... It's the memories
that make an education valuable.
- Spend your Spring

Stanley, an internationally known reef geologist and coral paleobiologist,
for a field course designed to study the
biology and geology of the Great Barrier Reef of Belize
Field trips
planned for June, 1996:
- Join Dr. Ian Lange
and Dr. Clint Carlson for a field course
based in Southern Utah, known for it's spectacular, brightly colored
sandstone canyons, fascinating flora and fauna, and prehistoric ruins

the ruins of Anasazi cities, many which were built under overhanging
