Описание: BBrowse & register for the upcoming GSA field trips in March, April, & May 2026 here: https://store.geosociety.org/collecti...

Prefer to do these kind of trips solo? Get your Roadside Geology books at the GSA store to help guide you through the geology of your destination: https://store.geosociety.org/

They also have so many other books, geology field gear, shirts, hats, socks, and so many other products that'd be perfect gifts for any Earth enthusiasts this holiday season! ;D

Big thanks to the field trip leaders, Drs. Chris Lowery, Sean Gulick, Pim Kaskes, & James Witts, for providing the information and resources that allowed me to make this video (and of course, for the wonderful GSA Field Trip!)
