Field Trip to the San Andreas Fault

Presented by San Bernardino County Museum at San Bernardino County Museum

January 26, 2008

Registration is now open for a San Bernardino County Museum field trip led by Senior Curator of Geology Kathleen Springer and Curator of Geology J. Chris Sagebiel. The one-day field trip will explore the San Andreas Fault on Saturday, January 26, 2008. Springer and Sagebiel will lead the group along the southern section of the San Andreas Fault from Redlands to Bombay Beach at the Salton Sea. This segment is the focus of intensive current research by earthquake scientists in terms of recognizing past large–magnitude earthquakes and the potential for future ones. The trip will focus on recognizing fault features of the desert landscape, and will include stops at Thousand Palms Oasis, Painted Canyon in the Mecca Hills, Salt Creek and the mud pots and rhyolite domes associated with the Salton Sea geothermal field. The trip will circumnavigate the Salton Sea, and include stops that highlight the geology of the western side of the trough. The cost of $60 per person ($50 for Museum Association members) includes transportation, coffee and muffins, lunch, snacks and water. Check in time is 7:00am at the museum, and return time will about 6:00pm. Participants are advised to wear sturdy and comfortable shoes for moderate hikes. Space is limited, and pre-paid registration is required by January 14, 2008. Call LaWanda Avery-Brown at (909) 307-2669 ext. 225 or visit www.sbcountymuseum.org for more information. Springer will also present a lecture, “Geology of Salton Trough,” at the county museum on Saturday, January 13, at 2:00pm that will provide valuable background information for trip participants. The lecture is open to public and is free with museum admission.
