GEOLOGY FIELD TRIPS
A basic knowledge of geology is a good thing to have, particularly in Boquete. Free caravan style geology field trips are now scheduled for January and February, beginning on January 3. All field trips meet at San Francisco Plaza and require cars and drivers willing to take a few extra riders.
The field trips are provided by Dr. Paul Myers, Emeritus faculty at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire. He is assisted on most trips by geologist Martita Stearns.
The first field trip schedule is as follows:
January 3. Beginner trip called Reading the Landscape. 8:30 – 1:30.
January 7: Surficial Processes. This is a new trip of the Caldera River Valley. It is recommended for those who have been on other trips and will focus on processes such as soil formation, landslides, mudflows, ashflows and floods. 8:30 – 1:30.
January 11: Beginner trip. Reading the Landscape. 8:30-1:30.
January 14: Baru Volcano – Debris Avalanche. 8:00 – 3:00 or later.
February 13: Caldera/Gualaca. Pyroclastic flows and petroglyphs.
