SAN DIEGO ASSOCIATION OF GEOLOGISTS
2014 SDAG Field Trip - Traversing a Transform Boundary:
Regional Tectonics, San Diego through the Salton Trough
October 11-12, 2014
On this field trip we will explore the interaction of the major faults of Southern California to accommodate for motion between the Pacific and North American Plates.
We will consider the tectonic evolution of the region and observe resulting landforms.
We hope you will join us on our trip along a cross section of San Diego!
The focus of the field trip will be the tectonics and geology of the San Diego/Imperial County region.
We will travel by bus, beginning on Saturday at the coast and moving eastward, stopping to view various tectonic and geologic features.
Our campsite on Saturday night will be the Desert View Tower, however, there is an option to stay at Jacumba Hot Springs for an additional fee.
On Sunday we will travel out to the Yuha Desert to view features related to the 2010 El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake.
We will finish up at the Imperial Valley Desert Museum for lunch. Please see the registration form for more details.
We hope to see you there!
