The second part of the trip might be best described as "a day in the life of a sedimentologist." We'll do some hands-on activity, measuring and drawing a stratigraphic column using a variety of measuring techniques. For this we'll break into groups. Participants should bring a notebook for writing, and a 5 or 8 m tape measure for that activity if they have one. Geologists in the group might like to bring their hammer, hand lens and compass |
