Aliso Loop Geology
Field trip with Jan Dependahl
Saturday, May 19, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Advance registration required at synature@west.net or 693-5683
Members free / nonmembers $20
With this short, steep hike, we will explore rocks and terrain that
range from 10 to 150 million years old. We will see rocks that
originated at a spreading center of the sea floor and then scraped off
onto an accretionary wedge at a subduction zone. We will see pillow
basalts that look as fresh as if we were looking out the window of a
submarine on thePacific
Rise. We will see an ancient erosional surface that has been folded,
eroded, and then deposited on again - then uplifted and eroded again!
You don't want to miss this geology packed Day.
Jan Dependahl has taught Earth Science labs at Santa Barbara City
College for 27 years. A Santa Barbara resident since 1967, she attended
Dos Pueblos High School, SBCC, and UCSB, where she graduated in geology.
She thoroughly enjoys teaching and sharing geology with her students and
members of the community - especially in the field!
