As part of our Stratigraphy and Earth History class, we took a trip to SE Utah to look at changing depositional environments. This year's trip took us through Arches and Canyonlands National Parks to study fluvial and eolian depositional systems, a meteorite impact and related deformation, and the geomorphology of the region. We spent two days looking at sequence stratigraphy in the world famous Book Cliffs north of Green River, and dashed out to Colorado National Monument to see 1.7 billion-year-old rock.
