Event
Field Geology with Andrew Alden
Right now, after the goats have groomed the poison oak and before the rainy season, is the best time to access the rock outcrops of Knowland Park. This vigorous, fieldwork-style outing for people interested in geology will take a limited group off the trails and across this rare unspoiled stretch of Oakland's hills.
After a brief presentation on geologic mapping and the major rock types found in Oakland, we'll roam the land and compare the evidence on the ground to the publishedgeologic map in our hands. We'll gather now and then to discuss ourfindings.
Bring a hand lens if you have one and a sketch pad if you like. Hammering and collecting rocks are not permitted.
Please also remember to bring drinking water, sunscreen, a hat, snacks, and comfortable walking shoes!
