Field Trip 1: San Diego Coastal Geology and Hazards
Departs from the front of the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice (IPJ).
Organized by Elizabeth Baker Treloar and Eric Cathcart (Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences, University of San Diego), this excursion along the beautiful San Diego coastline will focus on the sedimentary rocks that record 65 million years of geologic events. The Rose Canyon FAult Zone, the geologic hazards of the coastal region, and the potential threat of the southern San Andreas Fault will be addressed.
The field trip will stop first at Mount Soledad in La Jolla, then progress south to Sunset Cliffs in Point Loma. It will finish with a stop at scenic Cabrillo National Monument.
Weather can be cool and foggy on the coast, so plan to bring a jacket or, even better, layer your clothing. Tidepools at Cabrillo Rocks can be wet and slippery, so be sure to wear good shoes––no heels or flip flops!
Includes transportation from USD, field guide, fees, and box lunch.
Cost: $70 for meeting registrants; $80 ($70 + $10 non-registrant fee) for those not registered for the meeting.
