Workshops – 2009 Geology OF SHEEP MOUNTAIN
ANTICLINE
(new
for 2009) Instructors: Dr. Erik Kvale and Dr.
Michael-Brett-Surman June 19 through 21,
2009 continents appear to
be everlasting and unchanging. Yet our world is an unstable place that
is constantly being squeezed, uplifted, pulled apart and broken. View the
manifestations of these changes as we spend three days in the field exploring Sheep
Mountain Anticline near Greybull, Wyoming, one of the world’s most
famous doubly plunging
asymmetric anticlines.
We will view and discuss some of
the best examples of geologic folding to be found anywhere. You will be
introduced to topographic maps, aerial photographs, geologic mapping and
geologic features that will include faults, folds, and injection structures.
We will relate these geologic features to the discovery and recovery of
oil, gas, bentonite, and water in the Be prepared to see some beautiful
geology and to do some significant off-road hiking in potentially warm to hot
weather.
There will be quite a bit of hiking of up to four miles each day, and
climbing up and down steep slopes, so participants must be physically able to
spend three days in the field in rugged open terrain, carrying their own
water and supplies. Dinosaur Science - From Field to Classroom Instructors: Dr. Michael Brett-Surman and Dr. Erik
Kvale. June 24
through 26, 2009
A three day field course,
supplemented with classroom lectures, which will show teachers what we can, and
cannot, know about dinosaurs. Participants will see dinosaur footprints,
fossil dig sites, and watch how professional dinosaur paleontologists
reconstruct the life of the Jurassic and Cretaceous. So, bring your hiking boots, extra water bottles,
sunscreen, big floppy hats, and your camera.
