Update and upcoming fieldtrips

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all well and you are enjoying the summer break while it lasts. I’ve been a bit behind with Lake Glenmaggie due to Jim and Julie scheduling a geo trip right on the weekend I had planned to organise this haha (ba-humbug to the brits!). If all goes to plan though, it shouldn’t be too hard to schedule a weekend trip during the 1st or 2nd week of March. As more of a notice to myself but also to anyone interested, here is the line-up for 2016 in tentative sequential order:

1. Lake Glenmaggie – shoreline entry level poly-deformed structural mapping [1st year completed at least]

2. Stereonet Tutorial (Monash)

3. Cape Conran – poly-deformed granitoids and intrusive relationships

4. Map reading workshops - throughout the year specifically for ESC3201 students (Monash)

5. Strathbogie/Omeo (depends how busy I am during semester. Strathbogie if busy, Omeo if not busy) – igneous petrology, structure and contact metamorphism [2nd year completed would be helpful]

6. Photo interpretation and sketching workshops - throughout the year (Monash)

7. Waratah Bay – shoreline entry level structural mapping with beautiful strike-slip fault behaviour and strain partitioning

8. Glenelg River – igneous and metamorphic petrology, poly-deformation

9. Moornambool Metamorphic Complex – igneous and metamorphic petrology, poly-deformation, mapping

10. Revision tutorials as needed throughout year by demand

I have so many more sites I’d love to visit this year but I have to wary since I still have a full time University load on top of all this. Points in italics are based in Monash are by demand. Hope to see you soon, Martin
