The understanding of Earth processes and environments over
geological time is highly dependent upon both the experience that
can only be gained through doing fieldwork, and the collection of
reliable data and appropriate samples in the field. This textbook
explains the main data gathering techniques used by geologists in
the field and the reasons for these, with emphasis throughout on
how to make effective field observations and record these in
suitable formats. Equal weight is given to assembling field
observations from igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock types.
There are also substantial chapters on producing a field notebook,
collecting structural information, recording fossil data and
constructing geological maps. The volume is in a robust and handy
size, with colour coded chapters for ease of use and quick
reference in the field. Geological Field Techniques is designed for
students, amateur enthusiasts and professionals who have a
background in geology and wish to collect field data on rocks and
geological features. Teaching aspects of this textbook include: *
step-by-step guides to essential practical skills such as using a
compass-clinometer, making a geological map and drawing a field
sketch; * tricks of the trade, checklists, flow charts and short
worked examples; * over 200 illustrations of a wide range of field
notes, maps and geological features; * appendices with the commonly
used rock description and classification diagrams; * a supporting
website hosted by Wiley Blackwell.
Stan Gordon has been researching strange occurrences in
Pennsylvania since 1959. He has been involved with the
investigation of thousands of mysterious events including UFO
sightings, encounters with strange creatures such as Bigfoot, Black
panthers, thunderbirds, as well as many other very weird
events.Gordon's new illustrated book covers some of the unusual
events that have come to his attention over the years. Included in
the book are accounts of very close range encounters with
mysterious creatures and Unidentified Flying Objects. Some of the
fascinating cases you will read about include: Huge Metallic Object

This field trip guide focuses on mass wasting following the 2002
Missionary Ridge fire near Durango, Colorado. We prepared this
guide to accompany a May 4, 2006, field trip during the second Roy
J. Shlemon Specialty Conference, which was held in Durango,
Colorado, May 3-5. The conference, entitled Mass Wasting in
Disturbed Watersheds, was sponsored by the Association of
Environmental & Engineering Geologists (AEG) and the AEG
Foundation. The objective of this Shlemon Conference was to bring
together practitioners and researchers to define the current state
of practice and identify unresolved problems with regard to the
prediction and mitigation of mass wasting in disturbed watersheds.
The one-day field trip begins and ends in Durango. Many of the
field trip stops are at debris-flow fans around the periphery of
the burn area, but one stop examines landslide activity in the burn
area that initiated during spring 2005 snowmelt within a dormant,
deep-seated landslide, as well as an erosion/debris-flow mitigation
effort in a drainage basin above Lemon Reservoir. Also provided are
descriptions of the Missionary Ridge fire, the geologic and
climatic setting of the field-trip area, and the general effects of
wildfire on watersheds.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is a scientific
organization created in 1879, and is part of the U.S. government.
Their scientists explore our environment and ecosystems, to
determine the natural dangers we are facing. The agency has over
10,000 employees that collect, monitor, and analyze data so that
they have a better understanding of our problems. The USGS is
dedicated to provide reliable, investigated information to enhance
and protect our quality of life. This is one of their circulars.
