Regional Geology: Oregon Coast

As a 1 credit class for geology majors, we have a chance to do some intense in the field learning. This semester the class was a four day field trip to the Oregon Coast. It was a 9 hour drive, each way, and included about 15 stops total. The weather ranged from snow, to intense rain, to sun, but for the most part we were graced with some beautiful sunshine.

The stops ranged from an ocean research ship, which was absolutely amazing, to view points off the side of the road, to strolls along the beach.

Mary's Peak decided to snow on us.

This science center was amazing! We got to touch sea annenomes!

The Wecoma Science Research ship. An amazing stop on our trip. I would love to work on a boat like this.

I fell in love with this slump.

Terraces all along the coast.
