Fieldtrips to Mexico and Central America are an integral part of the
courses
I teach. In geology I feel it is much
more of a learning experience to see a formation in a natural setting
than to only hear it
described in the classroom.
At periodic intervals during the academic year I organize fieldtrips
into
nearby areas of northern Mexico. These trips
concentrate numerous vistas illustrating the cultural and physical
geographies, microclimates,
and geology of the Sierra Madre Oriental during four to five day
outings. Click on the links below to see
information and vivid photographs from past trips.
