Announcements

28 Apr. Just a few days to go! Just to confirm, we will be meeting at EPS on Friday night at 11.30 pm at the latest to board our bus for Burlington. Be sure to show up ready to get on the bus, with passport in hand. Also, our pre-trip meeting is tomorrow at 5pm, FDA Room 232. It will be brief – mainly just to cover any last minute details before we go.

26 Apr., 9.45 am. OK, just 5 days until we're on the plane and headed west. We've posted a bit more information, including an equipment list and a link to Tanya Atwater's tectonic history of southern CA over the past 80 million years, which is worth checking out.

23 Apr., 2:57 pm. You DO NOT need to attend the McGill pre-orientation meeting, but please to try to make it to our last pre-trip planning meeting next Thursday at 5pm.
